What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: BBC.
Kenji MoonfieldThe crew searching for Amelia Earhart has now reached that remote island, and the first thing they did was decide not to sleep on it.
Gloria VanceResearchers will bunk on their ship instead, because the island is home to giant coconut crabs.
Gloria VanceThe BBC reports the crabs are strong enough to pry open coconuts and carry heavy objects.
Vera BullockI think it's lovely that the team set a boundary. Some people would call that fear, but I call it a healthy relationship with crabs.
Gloria VanceThe same report says the crabs may have played a role in Earhart's disappearance, which is a theory, not a finding.
Kenji MoonfieldSo the crabs are suspects, and the detectives are sleeping offshore. Bold way to work a cold case.
Vera BullockOffshore?
Gloria VanceThey go ashore by day and return to the ship at night.
Gloria VanceI have been on ships like that, and the crew is always the calmest part.
Kenji MoonfieldAnd a crab that cracks coconuts for lunch is going to look at a tent as a snack bag with a zipper.
Vera BullockOr the crabs just want closure, and the team is giving them a safe space to process.
