Amelia Earhart Search

A US judge on Friday dismissed a man's claims that an aircraft recovery group secretly found wreckage of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart's missing airplane in the South Pacific but kept it quiet so it could continue raising funds for the search.

Two miles down or more and darker than night, the ocean becomes a particularly challenging place for human searchers.

Ten days after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared with 239 people aboard, an exhaustive international search has produced no sign of the Boeing 777, raising an unsettling question: What if the airplane is never found?

Researchers seeking to chronicle Amelia Earhart's fate 75 years after she vanished over the Pacific are to set off from Hawaii on a $2 million expedition on Tuesday to look for wreckage of her plane near a remote island where they believe the US aviator died as a castaway.
