An Oklahoma Farmer Lost His Cellphone In 140 Tons Of Grain - 9 Months Later He Gets A Call From Japan
Screenshot
Kevin Whitney of Chickasha, Oklahoma was working on his farm last October when his iPhone fell out of his shirt pocket and up a grain elevator, where it was deposited into a pit containing 280,000 pounds of grain.
"I never expected to see that phone again," he told KFOR-TV. It was a reasonable conclusion. Whitney's phone was part of a grain shipment that left Chickasha for Inola, Oklahoma, where it sailed down the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers to Convent, Louisiana. Then, on a cargo ship, it went through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific Ocean, ultimately arriving in Kashima, Japan.
