Amelia's first round-the-world flight attempt ended with a ground-loop while trying to take off from Hawaii for Howland Island.

It is ironic that she tried to reach Howland twice and failed both times.

The repercussions of the crash probably arguably set up the first links in the accident chain resulting in the loss of the aircraft and all souls on board on July 2, 1937.
