"New Sonar Image Reignites Search for Amelia Earhart's Missing Plane"

TL;DR Summary
A sonar image captured by a South Carolina-based sea exploration company has reignited interest in the mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance during her 1937 flight around the world. The image, believed to be her Lockheed 10-E Electra, was detected at a depth of 16,000 feet. The next step is to visually confirm the find and potentially raise the aircraft. While some are hopeful, others urge caution and further investigation to determine if it is indeed Earhart's plane. If confirmed, international standards for underwater archaeology would suggest leaving the aircraft in place for nonintrusive research.
