"Sonar Detects Possible Wreckage of Amelia Earhart's Long-Lost Plane 16,000 Feet Underwater"

TL;DR Summary
A deep-sea exploration team claims to have detected a sonar image of what appears to be Amelia Earhart's long-lost Lockheed 10-E Electra aircraft, which disappeared over the Pacific Ocean 87 years ago. The team, using state-of-the-art underwater drone technology, captured the image about 16,000 feet underwater near Howland Island, where Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan were supposed to refuel before vanishing. While multiple theories about Earhart's disappearance exist, including one suggesting she crash-landed on Gardner Island, this potential discovery offers new hope in solving one of aviation history's greatest mysteries.
