I heard that if you had been alive on that plane looking out the window, it would take two and a half hours to reach the bottom of the sea

Funny If statement.
Would it have been 3 hours sitting on an aisle seat with the blind closed? 2 if you had been dead?

Yeah, they're not getting that back.

Amazing isn't it? 6,000 feet just to be in a position to maybe hear the ping! We think we are gods with our tech but we are defeated by a few miles of water.

I'm actually a bit scared about the mass interest in this plane.
It feels like society is slipping into some sort of self feeding hype cycle.
What about all the news that's not interesting? Poverty and inequality are serious problems, but no one likes to feel bad about it, so it gets ignored in favor of, for example, this one plane. I'm also pretty sure people still get killed and go missing or something.
I don't know, man. Feels wrong.
And I probably need my coffee.

Well, there's a link on that page anyway. When you go there, a popup comes up and when you dismiss it, it redirects to the sites main page - but the link is there if you scroll down.

Can you please give the solution?
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

Cheyenne is an Indian Tribe, and the Capital of Wyoming.

CHEYENNE is a Native American Indian
and
CHEYENNE is the capital and most populous city of the US state of Wyoming.
Edit: Wot he said.

Can't wait for the "But Cheyenne isn't in India" posts.
By the way, although being on the right track I wouldn't have got that.

My daughter called me from my room yesterday afternoon.
She said there were kids in our front yard carving on our tree.
So I went outside and asked them what they were doing.
The boy answered that they were carving their initials on the tree.
I looked at the initials and asked about them.
J = Jordan
A = Andrew
H = Haley
I then told the kid doing the carving that I could hardly read the
message - please make it a little bigger so I can read it.
I wished them a good day and went into the house.
They all got weirded out and left.

By a strange coincidence the local kids have done that to the tree in my garden, and my front door and in paint on my front wall also.
I tell you what when I catch Peter, Andrew, Elliot, David and Oliver they're going to be in trouble.

Ours is down, so I had to print out a document and send via fax (which is down the hallway, so I had to get out my seat!!!) in stead of e-Mail. It's like the 19th century or something round here. Though that is Sunderland generally, just without the jobs & trade surplus.

I've got no network issues AND the beer is cold.

Go away. I'm in the middle of my final exams, and vactions + cold beer is what I need now.
7 Weeks left until my leave...
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

I posted here:

If anyone is able to help then it would be greatly appreciated.
