A deep-sea exploration group plans to embark on a new expedition to locate Amelia Earhart's lost plane based on what they describe as "breakthrough data" concerning the final moments of the doomed flight. Announced in a press release on Tuesday, the company Nauticos asserted that an "extensive restoration and analysis" of a radio system identical to the one aboard the missing aircraft has provided them with "the most precise information yet" as to where the pioneering pilot and her navigator Fred Noonan were at "8 AM on the day they vanished." Specifically, the group indicated that the spot is near Howland Island, where the pair had planned to land during their historic attempt at circumnavigating the globe.
