I have long had an interest in the mystery surrounding the disappearance of pilot Amelia Earhart and her navigator. Here's some interesting tidbits about more evidence of them coming down at a small atoll in the Pacific. Amelia Earhart case isn't closed quite yet; New clues are compelling, but it's too early to say her mysterious disappearance has been solved

Yesterday in 1935
Amelia Earhart was the first person to fly solo from Honolulu, Hawaii to Oakland, California.
Two-and-a-half years later, she and her navigator will disappear over the Pacific, generating an enduring mystery that has endured for decades. But regardless of the outcome, her daring will to fly and achieve what others would dismiss as mere fancy for any person, nevermind a woman, still inspires us. I'm so glad clips like this still survive so we can get an idea of the person behind the words. Thanks to Derek Handley (@dgh) on Twitter for sharing the video.
