It is a good article but you give the height as 2700 feet. You left out something. The article should say it is 823 meters(2700 ft.). By leaving out metric units, you perpetuate a medieval system of weights and measures. The United States looses billions of dollars in trade and lost jobs due to our continued use of obsolete measurement units. Lets go metric and fix this problem!
