Why did Amelia Earhart disappear?

Answer 1

No one knows exactly why Amelia Earhart disappeared. What is knowns in that she was flying from New Guinea to Howland Island in the spring of 1937, but never landed at Howland. She radioed ahead saying that she was flying into a storm, and that she could not tell how big it was. She was never heard from again, and her plane never reached Howland.

Many theories, including ones as simple as her plane simply ran out of gas and crashed, and ones as complex as Earhart having a double identity as an American spy who crashed on a Japanese island and was executed by the Japanese, have arisen since her disappearance.

Answer 2

Amelia Earhart disappeared in 1937 during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. The exact cause of her disappearance remains unknown, but it is believed that she ran out of fuel and crashed into the Pacific Ocean. Despite numerous search efforts, her plane and remains have never been found.
