I can't get the video to load on mobile at the moment. Can anyone else verify the woman in the photo appears to be Ms. Earhart?

Photo is not definitive, but plausible.

It is a photo of someone's back. You cannot see their face.

Yes, it does look like her. A bit grainy but yes, it could be.

It article didn't state when the photo was taken. The photo could have been taken before she disappeared.

Noonan is the more identifiable image in the photo, not Earhart.

Given that it's on the History Channel, I'd tend not to believe it. I still prefer this theory: seeker.com - Earhart's Final Resting Place Believed Found

It does look like her and Noonan.

One thing that's a bogus is that they say that the ship Koshu is pulling something 38 feet long. That's rather too precise given that this has to be an estimate taken from an image of a ship in the background of a grainy photograph.

Bodhipaksa Ships are internationally registered with their measurements, though. Hence the exact length of Koshu is known.

Even then, Lars Fosdal, the photograph is inherently grainy and any estimate of the length of any other object has to involve guesswork. Plus, there's the question of parallax. There's no way of knowing whether the object on the barge is precisely aligned. Turn it a few degrees either way and the apparent length will change. The precise 38 foot measurement smacks of someone seeing what they want to see.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
