RE: How A 15 Yr Old Girl In Florida Received Emelia Earhart's Last, Chilling Radio Transmissions

in #history5 years ago

If they landed on the beach and the plane was no longer there then the tides took it out into the ocean? Why wouldn't they have gotten out of the plane after the landing....or why would they sit there in the plane with the tide rising?...so many unanswered questions still...I sure hope the guy finds the plane so we can finally know one hundred percent for sure.

Sort:  

Howdy sunlit7! Yes they think she landed on a part of the beach which is level and smooth but narrow and then it drops off deep into the ocean. They say it would only have stayed there a few days before being washed off that narrow beach into the deep ocean.

I think they were just trying to use the radio as much as possible because they knew the high tide would come in and they didn't know how long they could use it. I think they used it over a couple of days until the water got too high or the plane was washed off the beach.

They transmitted at night because the blazing hot temperatures made the plane feel like an oven in the daytime. They also did a little bit of Morse Code at the last.

A transmission was received by Morse Code which said it might be their last transmission because of rising water. But for some reason the navy ships and coast guard weren't receiving the messages except maybe that last code message but I don't think they could reply back so that had to have been very discouraging for Emelia and Fred.

Indeed.

I never expected to get a one word reply from sunlit7! lol.

Hummm....you suggesting I am long winded? lol.

lol...no I'm saying you're a writer and not like some (mostly males) who just grunt or on steemit they give a one or two word answer much of the time! Most women are better communicators anyway.
