How did Amelia Earhart became so important?
She became so important...by her determination and doing. How she flew across the Atlantic Ocean. Even when people didn't believe a women could do it, she proved the impossible and showed the world...what she could do. After many sucessful flights...she made one last one....and that failed unfortunatley...people still wonder waht happend to her or where she dissappeared...my best guess is that she isn't on an island or something. According to evidence they haven't found a trace of where they landed. I believe this to be true, I also believe that she may have landed somewhere in the Pacific Ocean somewhere. She crashed because she ran out of fuel is my guess. I bet she landed in the ocean, there are thousands of depths and she could be anywhere really.
