>> i have been looking for amelia earhardt for 25 years, our organization has.ust mirrored how closely the reaction of the press and the media, and the actual development of clues and non-clues has paralleled what happened 77 years ago. >> captain fortune, the triple 7 is one heck of an airplane. it would take a real immense impact to have the debris floating in the ocean right now. wouldn't that have just been an immense impact to destroy the aircraft like that? >> yeah, absolutely, for the impact it would have been at a very high speed after running out of fuel if it did get to that point. and the airplane would have come apart in many pieces, yes. >> and captain fortune, i want you both to comment on this. you first, captain fortune. we're doing this search based on satellite images. are the images that we're seeing being released, is that everything they have? or do you think they have it down to the point where it would back up what they're saying. that this is the most credible evidence? because if we look at some of the satellite images are they doing all

. >> i'm a historian, and i'm very familiar with the amelia earhardt disappearance. and the circumstances were incredible. there was an extensive search, no wreckage was found, then electronic communication from the airplane was heard that indicated that the airplane was in that case down someplace. i see all of this with that historical perspective. and i remember the mistakes that were made in the search for earhardt. the assumptions were made. the government reports and information was accurate. and what i think were correct interpretations were later abandoned because of that report. >> that is a good point, because one of the things we're all assuming, the pings going westward, thanks to the satellites, are correct. and if that is not correct the jet may have never veered off the course -- >> well, here is a scenario, we take a flight, take it out west. a and look at what everybody is saying. they looked at the trajectory of the aircraft and said it must have crashed somewhere in the indian ocean. yes, so somewhere they shut this system down, why did they shut t

and as far as if you wanted to create the amelia earhardt story of the 20th century and whatever happened in nowhere-near ocean land and ditch it. because we only have 18 days left with the flight recorder performing to spec, and after that it will be worse than a speck after that. >>> all right guys, appreciate it? coming up on the edition of "hannity," what does it mean for the u.s. national security? and k.t. mcfarland has more on that. and later, the heart-wrenching video of the mother searching for her son, as "hannity" continues.

>> no, this is turning out to be the biggest mystery we have seen since amelia earhardt vanished in theific in 1997. we have had planes disappear before. but nothing quite like this and it's not taken this long to find them. >> what about that 727 disappeared in after from can a a few years back joseph padilla we never found that 727. >> that was one of the more bizarre cases he was shuttling diesel fuel to diamond minds. he had lots of debt. the plane just kind of took off out in the middle of the night and no one ever saw it again. but it wasn't a passenger airline. they had a flight plan and they didn't actually get clearance from the airport. so it's very different than this case. >> and so this is -- are there any other huge passenger planes with a lot of people on them that vanished? >> we look at the air france crash from a few years ago that everyone is talking about from brazil to paris that disappeared. but we found it. within two or three days there is evidence of it. the plane had stayed on the actual flight path it was supposed to be. here it's very different. we don't actu

now, if you are a sophisticate, it's got amelia earhardt. the lost airplane in the south seas.s is sort of a mixture of all these story lines. i personally have as little interest as you do except for the fact that it's a terrible strategy. i would hate to think of what the families are going through and i think in the coverage what annoys me is the wave it's become a game when actually it's a terrible, terrible event. and there are people who are terribly suffering. >> sure. >> and imagine what it was like if you were a passenger and the drama went on for hours and hours. but, i mean, as for why the networks are doing it, you know why and i know why. >> sure. they are getting ratings for it. the mystery drives it but also people identify with this because everybody flies. and what would i do and, you know, i could be on that plane. and there is a personal element to it. but, right now though, you know, cable news is a great thing i think. it's give voice to you and to me and to a lot of people who probably never would have been seen on the networks news because of stranglehold

amelia earhart's plane. it was never found. rick gillespie is the executive director of the international group for historic aircraft recovery. he also wrote a book about the earhardtood morning, sir. >> good morning. >> it seems kind of far fetched to compare the two flights. earhardt's plane went down in the '30s. we have much, much better technology. are there parallels? >> someone once said that history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes. nothing vanishes without a trace. we have been working on the earhardt ministry and we for 25 years, many traces, many clues. the parallels to flight 370 just keep coming. you have a flight that was originally thought to have gone down at sea and then a search for wreckage didn't come up with anything and now there are electronic communications from the plane that came in after the time of loss, which made people think that maybe it continued flying and was on land. even now, the search area has shifted south. in 1937, that is exactly what was going on with earhardt. she reported that she was on a line of position that might have gone northwest and might have gone southeast. at first, they thought it was northeast and then th
