US farmer loses iphone back from Japan

Kevin Whitney, a farmer Kevin Whitney in Oklahoma, lost his iphone in a barn last October, Beijing time July 10 morning. In the near future, a granary worker in Japan found the iphone and sent it back to Whitney after long-distance transportation of the grains. Last year, when Whitney lost his iphone, he felt it was impossible to retrieve the iphone from a pile of grains. However, a small miracle finally happened. The grains, which had been transported by cars, barges and sea-liners, came to Japan, and a Japanese worker found the iphone. After confirming his master's identity, he sent the phone back to Whitney. The iphone has successfully resisted the harsh conditions in the transportation process. After Whitney gets his cell phone, the iphone can still be turned on, while the phone retains many of the precious photos of Whitney's daughter's wedding and other family gatherings. "It's crazy, I can't believe it," he says. He was amazed at the small world. It is not the first time that digital devices have been returned to their owners after a legendary experience. A canoe enthusiast had dropped the iphone in the sea, but 82 days later found the waves had flushed the iphone back to shore. A parachute-lover's GoPro camera was once loose and dropped in a pigsty, but returned to the owner a few weeks later. However, Whitney's iphone is significantly farther away from the range of equipment travelled. (D-Gold)
