    Assuming these stories corroborate, and they describe the same incident, there is a discrepancy. As convincing as Mrs. Michiko’s and Akiyama’s account sounds, we must consider a another possibility. Misremembering, a psychological occurrence where a third party introduces false facts to an eyewitness who then create false memories, is a possible culprit for the lack of cohesive testimony. Laura Engelhardt writes in the Stanford Journal of Legal Studies that “experiments in the mid-seventies” demonstrates that “false cues altered participants memories” 21. When eye witnesses hear cue words, they tend to ‘misremember’, or create a figment of thought that is interpreted as a memory, but is not true. In the studies, performed by Elizabeth Loftus, participants were shown pictures of cars at…

It wasn't until Earhart attended a stunt-flying exhibition, almost a decade later, that she became seriously interested in aviation. A pilot spotted Earhart and her friend, who were watching from an isolated clearing, and dove at them. "I am sure he said to himself, 'Watch me make them scamper,'" she said. Earhart, who felt a mixture of fear and pleasure, stood her ground. As the plane swooped by, something inside her awakened. "I did not understand it at the time," she said, "but I believe that little red airplane said something to me as it swished by." On December 28, 1920, pilot Frank Hawks gave her a ride that would forever change her life. "By the time I had got two or three hundred feet off the ground," she said, "I knew I had to fly."…
