Expedition to find Amelia Earhart's missing plane comes up empty

The researchers said what they had hoped was the plane was "likely a collection of large trees" that had washed away, leaving a "single Y-shaped segment."

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the same basic update: an expedition is searching a remote Pacific island for traces of Amelia Earhart’s plane, and BBC News uniquely frames it as a search that resumed after stormy weather and a three-day pause. CBS News instead gives a more general progress update, with one extract adding that archaeologists are doing the search off a remote island in Kiribati and that Lana Zak is reporting.
