Also, how many damged aircraft crashed long after the planes that shot at them were far away? That plane sitting at 60,000 feet down could be a japanese recon plane fighter that lost its way. or You might recognize the fact that aircraft are heavier than air, and any multitude of reasons can suddenly make them drop from the sky like bird poop.

    I suspect it’s a ww2 aircraft. Another organization (TIGRE) has a sound theory that she and her co-Pilot landed on the beaches at Gardner Island and were stranded and died there. This theory is based on lots of circumstantial evidence. The waves eventually pushed the plane into the ocean. An underwater search was performed several years ago but came up negative. Not sure if there are plans to do additional searches.

    16,000 feet below the surface is further than oceangate’s expedition, this would be one costly and very dangerous trip down if it’s manned. Best route would be to send a controller robot down there to verify which is also costly in on its own. I’m surprised we don’t have the tech to explore and pull out what we have available on earth yet have helicopters on mars currently.

      You mean, if it is not she, you are praying that it will become she?
      Because if it already is she, then what use were it to pray for it to be she?
      The idea of praying for something that already IS or ISN"T doesn't make sense to me.
      You have wasted your energy. Pray for something that isn't already what it is.

    Looks promising. I have to wonder, though. As they ran low on fuel, it would make sense that they would try to reach a known island in the area but this wreckage is at a very deep location, so I assume far from any island. Regardless, let's hope we can finally end this mystery. Edit: upon further research, the only other island in that area (Baker) is about 45 miles from Howland Island, so the odds of them finding an alternate island as they ran low on fuel are very small.
