The real reason Amelia Earhart is so famous 

It did contribute a bit to how famous she was but not during her lifetime

Me too.

its the only reason anyone remembers her now

Matt Majcan I didn’t even know she beat any records. I knew about the Atlantic thing, but the only thing that really stuck out to me over the years was her disappearance.

Matt Majcan That isn’t true. She is famous all around the world for being the first female aviator to cross the atlantic. Most people on the other side of the pond don’t even know she disappeared.

Video Graham at least after the 1900

winners win because they have good PR teams. the PR teams are the writers

Video Graham So it seems

gustavo pena why after 1900? Augustus had a pretty good pr team

Exactly. Considering the first non stop flight to cross the Atlantic was by a British team in 1919. The yanks cant have that on the record so they change the record books to "Solo" and hide the rest from history.

Doesn't mean you can't improve yourself everyday. Some top people used to 'fake it til they make' until they become very skilled artists, pilots etc.

Only if you have good pr manager

"Some day, you too might be scouted by some rich dude and turned into a public icon."

Captain Beefheart it celebrates life, don’t be so dumb

We do not and have never lived in a meritocracy. Sorry you're just getting the memo.

He proposed 6 times to her and then told her that she doesn't have to be faithful.

So it was basically just a celebrity PR stunt marriage and they both knew it.

The History Chicks did a podcast that talks more about her marriage (along with her entire life) if you’re interested in that!

Guys, putnum touched me.... thought id come forward after all these years. I know, im a brave young man

Shai Guyz isn't it obvious!

Catapults are inferior compared to the superior siege engines though...

That's a misconception based on the fact that everyone now a days who learns about her or hears about her in elementary school hears about her disappearance, because that was the end of her story. If she hadn't become as famous as she did, her disappearance wouldn't have even been shocking in the first place.

I respectfully disagree. The fact that she was famous is the only reason her disappearance received attention. Even in this video he states that others had disappeared at that time, before and after as well yet we know nothing about them. Like Kevin Hart for example. Kevin Hart obviously is not the first person to get in a car accident but because he's famous people around the world know about. In addition to that most people aren't aware that his friend was with him, why? Because he's not famous so he barely gets coverage.

If i remember correctly she has/had been found a while ago. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=relay.nationalgeographic.com/proxy/distribution/public/amp/2017/07/forensic-dogs-amelia-earhart-spot-where-died&ved=2ahUKEwjR2_DWz83YAhVO4WMKHT4cBXUQFjABegQICBAB&usg=AOvVaw0R4sbDIjgaBm17Zpm55dd5&ampcf=1

an interesting article to be sure, but hardly conclusive. Besides, I'm less interested in the conspiracies surrounding her disappearance and more the general facts of the event. Like I said, I only wanted a small piece at the end of the video, not a thorough report on what might have happened. Really was an interesting read though, thanks for the link :)

The bottom line is that she disappeared because she didn't have the patience to learn how to use her navigation and communications equipment properly.

Buzzfeed Unsolved made a video regarding her disappearance. All the facts and timelines have been laid out neatly. You can check it out :)

Watch the buzzfeed unsolved video on it

Matthew Brooks I think they already made one

Tilda Swinton would kill the roll as Earhart

playstationer Yeah, but they made it into a love story when that clearly wasn't the case :(

Matthew Brooks I'd find it but I think it's as lost to me as Amelia

There was already a biopic of her which she was portrayed by Hilary Swanks. Reviews said it was awful though

Lol Earhart

my grandmothers cousin was Amy Johnson she flew 11k miles and was first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930,she also died in her late 30"s helping the war effort,,but not even included here mate

Ceruleanturkeyz Hi , can you give me your opinon about my channel

Why? Because it fits the narrative that sexism always stands in the way of women achieving great things?

+ ingaman No, because it shows that skill isn't the only thing needed. It's how one sells oneself that matters more.She sold herself to the public in a way that made them like her whereas her counterparts didn't even though they are better.

+Rave Yoda I want to start by saying I really like your username. I agree with you in that I think that's what's going on here. Skill and talent aren't valuable commodities in a capitalist society.

+Laurel You're right, I should've rephrased what I was saying to be 'less valuable' or something along those lines. What I mean to say is that talent doesn't always translate into popular success -it's usually constructed by those who control capital. And of course sexism was an issue in those days, but the fact that there was so much media attention around her shows that there was an public adoption of 1st wave feminism. Example: I know immediately who Amelia Earhart is, but I'd have to google Charles Lindbergh to know what he accomplished.

That was actually the way to do it back then, when you need to handprop the propeller to get it going. And while it was certainly dangerous, if you are careful it wasn't all that much dangerous. It is still being done today albeit less since there's battery to start it now.

I've started a Fokker DR.7, and Thomas Morse Scout, along with a 3/4th scale DR.1 and nieuport 11 manually(at kingsbury)...It definitely is an uncomfortable unnerving feeling

Well, people did die

They edit out all the people who get their heads chopped off.

People still hand-start propellers all the time, its standard practice if your electric starter dies

No she was killed by the Japanese

Umm she is dead by now if she wasn't dead before

Too bad they choose to stay, they missed quite the adventure.

I got the Voyager joke. Good one!

I hoped so badly someone else commented on that episode. It's 1 of my favorites of the series.

m Hi , can you give me your opinon about my channel

Astrolabe yeah, it's crap. Stop spamming people

m Great idea! I hope they parallel it with those crazy, tower-climbing Russian kids

spinakker reply

m - hehehehehe laughing in hell

Also 2pac and Michael Jackson are there too

Ethan Mack I'd watch that

Ethan Mack and madellin mcann

And Elvis too, don't forget about Elvis

Don't forget Biggie!

Charlie Clumsy That's not how it works.

My cause of death will be friendzones

Technically no, she crashed in the Southwest Pacific around midday their time, just before the international date line. So most of the world's time was behind the time zone she was in. No timezone reach the next day when she crashed.

@@user-qp9en3ye3l it's a joke

now i'm questioning everything haha

Lexy Rose next time pay attention in school

A Stickman lmao school doesn't teach you everything about every subject relax

Creator Studios thank you!

Lexy Rose lol

Sí

Meme Lord where's your memes

Meme Lord AYO!!!

Lol

Meme Lord i

it's not just the publicity or Putnam things. it was her COURAGE. she was clearly the most courageous one among her peer.

Thalitadivya 92 Agree. Her skill might not that exceptional compared to other great aviation pioneers like Elinor Smith or Ruth Nicols, but she was the most courageous one.

Anindita Kusuma Listya Couldn’t have said it better myself

Azure Trio what about Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Emmy Noether, etc?

Or Sabiha Gokcen as an aviator

Azure Trio Nobody ever became somebody without the help of somebody else.

@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive but feminazis say they need no MAN!

Maybe powerful men aren't all that bad

Jericho & Thunder The 2 Gray Cats haha that joke is timeless

brittany rietz - Hahahaha! So glad someone recognized the reference. 😄

brittany rietz 😂😂😂😂

xD

Denis, i have a very old vintage pic of Amelia sitting next to Admiral Byrd in I think it was NY.

my grandmothers cousin was Amy Johnson she flew 11k miles and was first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930,she also died in her late 30"s helping the war effort,,but not even included here mate

I'm guessing I'm the minority then? Being Australian and aware of who she is.

Not even Europe

Dimitrije Vasiljević *eastern europe. Maybe only people from western countries know her because I do for sure

Akhil Djokovic vox arent to blame for your ignorance

Across the US and Europe is technically "across the world" isn't it?

Fact is she was a legend, just not an amazing pilot like how she's usually credited. But not a terrible pilot either.

They said average among her peers. Not average compared to the general population.

Y2Kvids I knew this once, but right now have only a buzz in my head.

Y2Kvids buzz aldrin lol

Buzz Aldrin :D

Buzz Aldridge. Then Pete Conrad, the AL bean then al Shepard.. Jack Schmidt was the last person to be first set first set foot on the moon though his commander who recently passed away, was the last man on the moon. But hopefully that will change in a few years..

So... She is the most famous... Because she was the most ambitious and daring..... But that really isn't what made her famous.. It was all of that.. She was a well known name that spectacularly vanished... That.... Is what made her famous.. Really vox. I know more about aviation then you....

Micah Williams they'll both get more money and publicity.

Because why tf not?

All Time Great God - _HOLY SHEET_ *CONSPIRACY THEORY* That idea is messed up but it seems to be true..

Melanie's Little Angel The Archer Cry Baby wait... How does this seem to be true there is no evidence at all to indicate it

MrExplodeable - I don't know, to me it appears to be. There isn't much to that case but why did the plane fail in the first place? Well we all know that there was poor communication and there was not enough fuel. This theory is not strong enough. But the gender inequality in the 30's is there. This is what I have: The publisher George Palmer Putnam proposed to Amelia Earhart six times before she agreed to marry him. First, she served him a letter detailing “some things which should be writ before we are married.” She would not be faithful: *“I want you to understand I shall not hold you to any midaevil code of faithfulness to me nor shall I consider myself bound to you similarly,”* Earhart wrote. She would not quit flying: “Please let us not interfere with the others’ work or play.” And she would not commit to forever: “I must exact a cruel promise and that is you will let me go in a year if we find no happiness together.” They married on Feb. 7, 1931. So, there's that.

How's she turning into a liability exactly when her name is growing even more? He's the one who orchestrated her fame. Earhart's name growing is more of his investment increasing don't you agree instead of it turning into a burden?

The earth "seems" to be flat but it doesn't mean it's logical. Get your shitty theories outta here.

Tranquil , he would find a way to vlog about it

Tranquil CLEVER!

28MadMatt28 she didn’t fly the plane her first trip

my grandmothers cousin was Amy Johnson she flew 11k miles and was first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930,she also died in her late 30"s helping the war effort,,but not even included here mate

Nathan Billington I and many others learned from this video. It may be old hat to you, but many can learn from it.

Nathan Billington so its her fault now she disapeard ? I didnt kniw what people were all able to be accussed of even now many years after their tragic death (oops sorry) dessapearance

Nathan Billington Since you mentioned The Beatless Uuu h hm one member of the band is missing I think it's joh lennon , let's talk bad about him now, shall we ? I mean after all the man is gone Why not ?

Aly pixar Agreed :)

Zxfxr lol same here

Same

Dumbasses

Whaaat? Do they not teach about Amelia Earhart in schools?

TacoMasters Association I was taught about her in school

Egan Wibowo How?

jedikye he's being sarcastic or ironic ? Maybe Don't take him seriously Did He reply ?

grancrackers 428 While that majority does exist, I and many others don't belong to that majority. I just knew from childhood that she was an aviator because in elementary her name was mentioned for being an aviator.

I care, someone needs to care

trckojr She's the most famous American female flyer.

the chick that disappeared with another woman. its pretty obvious that she was a lesbian and the media refuse to broach this. she could be a good lgbt heroine.

Lechiffresix six She was not lesbian she married a guy stupid stop claiming everything LGBT(no hate towards LGBT people though)

Lechiffresix six She disappeared with a guy. Her co-pilot was a guy. And no, I'm not implying any romance either. Stop spreading misinformation.

PS that was 11,000 miles too

Andrew Enriquez No, you are not funny

Andrew Enriquez that was 2017, now it's time to respect men.

It's time to Stay MGTOW

Jba 99 Giving birth.

Are you assuming her gender?!!!, Ughh?!!!

Harris Ashraf she really does!

Damien Wayne 😂 probably one of the ugliest people ive ever seen in my life

TheLegend27 dead meme

Stay in school and you know

Brother Ares There's no reasoning with people who believe that everything in which a woman is in, is feminist propaganda.
