Bonneville Salt Flats... the Fastest Place on Earth


The plane Steve Fossett was piloting disappeared while he was preparing for his latest record attempt, a shot at the land speed record of 763.035 mph. His crew plans to try to break the record anyway in the jet-powered car built for that purpose. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/graphic/2007/12/08/GR2007120801879.html
