      That's not something that I was expecting to ever happen!

            Oh wow! I hope this article helps them get funding to mount the expedition to find the plane! Amazing.

              Hopefully. It's been so long and every year makes it less likely that they will figure it out. This is the time to do it.

                Researchers have been working on the premise that this island is where it was, but we're never able to actually prove it before now. That is why there have been 4 or 5 prior research missions to the island.

                  They had a pretty good idea, I saw a documentary on that island in the last five years or so. They were talking about how the researchers know the island so well that if a tree has grown up, they know it. They recently found photographs from the 1940s or so and have been using them to look for anything that has changed in the intervening years. Maybe the photos are older, maybe they are pre-accident? Not sure now.

                    This would be great to finally close and find out what happened to her. It is an amazing tale,..

                    Just hope this Island doesn't have a smoke monster...

                        Wait wait wait.. Didn't you all see the TNG episode where she was in a space capsule. LOL

                        OK for real now, this is pretty cool.
