"Explorers Claim Discovery of Amelia Earhart's Lost Plane in Pacific"

TL;DR Summary
Explorer Tony Romeo believes he has found the long-lost plane of Amelia Earhart using sonar technology in the Pacific Ocean, 100 miles from Howland Island. The blurry image captured by an underwater drone resembles Earhart's twin engine Lockheed 10-E Electra, and Romeo plans to return to the site with better equipment for confirmation. The expedition, which requires expensive gear, used an underwater drone to scan 5,200 square miles of ocean floor, and the suspected plane was found resting 5,000 meters underwater.
