In reply to the discussion: The latest distraction attempt: Trump says he's ordering the release of all government records on Amelia Earhart. [View all]Wednesdays
(21,316 posts)37. "...she crashed in the ocean..."
The most prevailing theory now is that she landed safely on an uninhabited atoll, but the plane was washed out to sea and she perished from starvation within a few weeks.
There were human bones found on the island in question, and remains of a campfire that was dated around 1937. The bones were shipped to a lab, but they were lost sometime before 1991. They had taken measurements of the bones, and those measurements are a possible match to Earhart's size based on photos of her.
This organization has searched the island, but so far has not produced anything conclusive.

OP
1) Nobody in history has ever asked Donald Trump about Amelia Earhart (starts with an obvious lie)
