Earhart plane search resumes after storm delay; one report says expedition found no plane

Alternative and independent outlets, represented here by BBC News, report that the search for Amelia Earhart's plane has resumed after stormy weather put an expedition to a remote Pacific island on hold for three days. The expedition hopes to uncover the wreckage of the American aviator's aircraft.

Left-leaning coverage, from CBS News, agrees the expedition is looking for Earhart's missing plane but reports that it came up empty. Researchers said the object they had hoped was the plane was most likely a cluster of large trees that had washed away, leaving a single Y-shaped piece. At the time of writing, right-leaning outlets tracked by Crosswire had not reported this story, while left-leaning and alternative or independent outlets had. Those covering it focus on different points: the left-leaning report centers on the disappointing result and the researchers' explanation, while the alternative report centers on the weather delay and the restart. The two accounts do not contradict each other, but they describe different moments, and the excerpts give no further detail on next steps.
