88 years after Amelia Earhart went missing, new evidence has reopened the case. Satellite images show a large object underneath the water at an island near Earhart's flight path as Purdue announced an expedition to locate her long-lost plane.
When I say disintegrated I meant it in more of as it’s root, not atomized but reduced to a basic level from its whole. Bits and pieces washing up in Africa is about what I’d expect but I doubt theres much more that a couple shredded chunks of the main body. Aluminum can break down pretty thoroughly under the right forces, speed and surface tension would be more than enough IMO.
Remember we’re still finding WW2 era ships that we know roughly where they were when they sank and those are massive behemoths an aluminum scrap heap would be easily missed in comparison.
