TL;DR Summary

Deep-sea exploration company Deep Sea Vision believes it has found Amelia Earhart's plane, the Lockheed 10-E Electra, in the Pacific Ocean based on sonar images taken 5,000 meters below the surface. The founder, Tony Romeo, has spent $11 million on the search and plans to return for better images. The discovery could potentially solve the mystery of Earhart's disappearance in 1937, which has led to various conspiracy theories and failed searches over the years. If confirmed, the relatively intact state of the plane suggests a gentle landing on the water, supporting the theory that Earhart attempted to land the aircraft after running out of fuel.
