I was curious, but the link doesn't elaborate on how much is known about the "ran out of fuel and ditched after having slightly overshot the island" -- whether that's all fact, or partially fact, or all speculation.
- CSMastermind 3y agoHere's the US Navy's full report: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/305240 https://catalog.archives.gov/id/305240 Which references the radio logs from the day of the disappearance: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6210268 https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6210268 tl;dr we know they overshot the island and were running a search pattern for it while running out of fuel because they told the radio operator on the other end as much. The only question is what specifically happened (did they manage to get life rafts out, etc.
