  1. Her plane will never be found after being eaten up by the ocean after 90yrs. A sunken 10 passenger plane battered by ocean surf is not equivelant to a sunken ocean liner 2 miles deep. She definitely landed off that island and survived for a while though – all evidence points to it. It was the biggest search and rescue screw up in the history.

    1. I would not totally write off finding the wreckage, planes downed in WW II are still being found. The depth of the wreckage will play a role however.

  2. Finding the plane is like finding the needle in a haystack. Prediction market traders place the probability at 14% that the plane will be formally confirmed as located and identified by the end of this year (there is a better chance that you would survive high-risk activities like wingsuit flying, BASE jumping, and cave diving).
