Fiction. On average, your heart beats 100 000 times per day. During an average lifetime, your heart will beat in excess of 2.5 billion times, pumping more than 1 million barrels of blood. Your body holds about 6 quarts of blood, which circulates through your entire body at the rate of 3 times everyminute and travels 12 000 miles per day.

Airplane pioneers Orville Wright and Amelia Earhart both died in plane crashes.

It is believed she crashed, but no one knows for sure.
