Amelia Earhart's disappearance
The most famous aviator alive vanished over open ocean — and expeditions are still looking.
On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the Pacific during an attempt to fly around the world near the equator, roughly 7,000 miles from completing the journey.
