Robots To Search for Amelia Earhart's Lost Plane

raque writes "Following up on an earlier story, a group of aviation archaeologists will use underwater robots along with submersibles and sonar to search for Amelia Earhart's plane. The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery will search this July for the aircraft, which went down 75 years ago. 'If there's wreckage there that can be recovered, we need to know what it is, how big it is, what it looks like, and what it's made of so we can prepare a recovery expedition that has equipment to raise whatever's there,' said Richard Gillespie, the group's executive director."

    I don't understand the obsession with Amelica Earhart. It's pounded into kids in public schools as if she was so important. Seems to me the feminist movement is trying to rewrite history or at least emphasize what they deem more important to push their agenda. She crashed her plane and died, whoopee!
