Scientists to dredge possible location of Amelia Earhart's plane
Scientists are preparing to dredge the area near where they believe Amelia Earhart's plane may have crashed in the South Pacific. Lana Zak reports.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as an active search for a possible crash site or traces of Amelia Earhart’s plane in the South Pacific. CBS News repeatedly emphasizes dredging and an archaeological search near Kiribati, while 60 Minutes adds that the expedition is facing severe weather and mentions a 2020 satellite-radar object, which appears only in its extract.
