Researchers closing in on Earhart's fate


As I write this email, researchers are lowering a sub into the ocean near the island atoll, Nikumoro, to see if the remains of the twin-engined airplane can be located.

If true, that is really tragic. It's possible Amelia and Fred were alive for several weeks, stranded, while searchers were not that far away. But the searchers were inexplicably blinded to the possibility of searching outside their set map area coordinates. Somehow the searchers felt that Amelia had to be in this one region area of the Pacific or no where else.

Both people died in vain and despair, while the search went on just behind the horizon. Yes, when both people died of starvation, thirst, and possibly injuries, unless they were blown in a storm into the ocean, coconut crabs probably scavenged them

Why don't they catch and eat them coconut crabs and they could survive?
