Plus, I can't believe you're using the words COMPASSIONATE & HUMANITARIAN in the same sentence with the wwII era Japanese. That's a joke right??

Seriously? Did you note the quotation marks? Did you note the context of the sentence?

[seanratpel]

ok, I can't believe "they're" using the words.........

[seanratpel]

If anyone wants to read up on their history, the Japanese were already well versed in murder and rape throughout Indochina and Malaysia long before this wayward pilot got herself lost.

I have good info the Amalia, Elvis, Howard Huges, and bigfoot are all kicking back on an uncharted island in the tropics.

Look, I have no issue with you but I honestly believe you missed an obvious point of sarcasm/mockery. Here is my sentence:

At the time, the US had no interest in entering the war with China, so why give the Americans a reason? If anything, it would be in Japan's best interest to find the fliers, rescue them, and return them with great ceremony to the world, demonstrating their "compassionate" and "humanitarian" nature.


I did not put quotes around the words because the Japanese used them. I put quotes to indicate irony, as when uses air quotes when speaking. I assume people know of Japanese horrors, pre-WWII, and I also assume people know Japan tried to keep a civil face to the world, especially the US. Given that context, finding and returning the fliers would feed the image represented by the two quoted words.

This!

Spoiler alert.

There are many problems with the Amelia captured by the Japanese theory.

(Continue spoiler) These problems include that in order to get to the area where the Japanese could have picked her up, she would have had to turn 180 degrees from her last known location (when she announced that she was lost) and flown backwards much farther than she had fuel to reach instead of the more logical continuing on her last known course. But a bigger problem with the theory is that the photo claimed to be her and Noonan after their capture was published in a book two years before their fateful voyage.

Oh, by the way, everyone either pushing this theory or debunking it in favor of the desert island crash landing theory have a financial interest in people buying their theory and contributing money toward an expedition to prove the theory or buying books or watching documentaries presenting the pet theory.

Yes, that was said on the show as well..

[MRM]

Only if it was there two years before the expedition when the picture was taken.

As MRM said, this photo was published in a tourism magazine in 1935, two years before Earhart disappeared.

saw most of the show. very interesting.
they had jap witnesses that reported seeing her/her plane, despite not knowing who she was.

if that is her in the pic, why is she out in the open and if the japs held her prisoner or would hold her if captured.

Gotta hand it to ya Sammy
