Amelia Earhart, the famous pilot, likely survived her 1937 crash and sent distress signals for weeks. However, authorities immediately presumed them to be hoaxes and did not investigate further. A Florida teenager and her father may have overheard her post-crash distress calls on a shortwave radio for hours, writing them down in a notebook that is now with Earhart's crash investigators. Current evidence supports a theory that she crashed on a remote island and was eaten by coconut crabs.
