I was glued to my seat watching the History channel Earhart piece. The evidence was presented well and made sense to me. @musicprnt did a great job of recapping above.
They also addressed why the US gvmt would have kept quiet about knowing her whereabouts and that she was taken prisoner. If the US had taken action, apparently it would have alerted the Japanese that the US had a code breaking machine.
In the photo below, Earhart isn’t looking at the camera. She’s looking at her plane on the barge on the right. The History channel also took known points from the ship pulling the barge and the distance betweeen those points and transposed onto the airplane. It was the same size as Earharts plane.
The use of facial recognition software and forensic science looking at bone structure etc from known photos vs the archives photos was also interesting.
