Where did Amelia Earhart's flight go down?

Answer 1

Amelia Earhart's plane, I think, went down in the Bermuda Triangle caused by bad weather and not enough fuel.

1. She was in fact not even in the same ocean as the Bermuda triangle when she went down.
2. She was unable to find the small island in the middle of the ocean that had her support crew.
3. Though weather did likely make the celestial navigation she was using difficult, and winds are thought to have delayed her flight, one good book on the topic notes that she informed the support teams to broadcast radio navigation information on a frequency her equipment was not capable of receiving. Best guess is somewhere in the Pacific Ocean in the general area of Howland Island. The margin for error using celestial navigation made it nearly impossible for her to find the island without using her radio navigation equipment.
