I was quoting The Guinness Book Of World Records, which I think is more
reliable, because several hundred million copies later they will have
managed to correct any errors in a report of a 1947 event.
OTOH, I didn't know it had left Long Beach ... how on earth did they
manage ? did they saw it up in chunks, or what ?
