TIGGER PROJECT MEDIA RELEASE – 1 April 2012
Images released today (1/4/2012) appear to conclusively reveal the final resting place of the Earhart Lockheed 10 Electra with the aircraft seemingly clearly visible on underwater ROV footage as being completely buried under sand on the seabed floor near to Nikumaroro (image enhanced for clarity).
There also appears to be two bodies completely buried near the wreckage (image enhanced for clarity) initial analysis suggests the bodies are male and female, and of european origin.
TIGGER project leader Christopher Robin is awaiting further details from the TIGGER deep sea investigator Dr Richard Piglett and his assistant Miss Winnie Pooh, however image enhancements leave little doubt as to what is lying buried under the seabed off the beach of Nikumaroro Island where TIGGER believe Earhart forced landed and perished.
The completely submerged wreck and bodies was discovered by following a debris trail from a coral undercarriage leg discovered in an earlier ROV expedition.
All donations greatfully accepted to help the continuation of this important work.

Didn’t she marry that South African dude who spent a lot of time in prison?

Miss Winnie Pooh? – I knew this was an April fools joke, winnie was definately a very macho dude and would never have undergone a change operation. After all, he was a Canadian bear.

She (he) is a former Canadian Lumberjack and so Winnie’s feminine preferences are therefore well known and evidenced, it is unfair to bring the gender ambiguity of research team members up as distractions to their serious exploration work.

I saw through it straight away, the aircraft was travelling east, yours young man is travelling west… :p
Its typical of non believers to use false information to try a discredit serious archaeological and undersea wreck exploration work, such responses are typical of those suffered by groups such as ourselves on forums such as these.
Its a well known phenonemon that water goes down the plug hole in the reverse direction in the southern hemisphere ,and hence a east travelling aircraft ditching off a South Pacific Island will always rotate 180 degrees from its original heading due to that effect (ie facing due west) as it sinks prior to becoming completely buried from view under the sandy floor of the seabed (and only detectable by sophisticated digital image enhancement or the presence of FBI chalk lines).
Hence it is clearly the Electra of Earhart because she was travelling east and this wreck is facing west, exactly as would be expected due to the plug hole effect.
Anyone with any experience in exploring deserted islands for evidence to prove the implausible would know of such phenonemons and how to consider them in assessing evidence, and therefore recognise the significance of this discovery.
