You raise a good point, but
the extensive search that was launched
immediately after the disappearance failed to turn up anything - so the
obvious conclusion is that the plane went down elsewhere (possibly far from
the radius of the original search).
And maybe it wasn't an "error in navigation" - I wonder if it's possible
that they realized that they weren't going to make their original
destination (Howland Island), and changed course hoping to re-fuel
elsewhere but ran out of fuel before reaching the new destination?
