Interesting, but I don't know about that deepest claim since I am looking at a 5300 metre well right now in the foothills.

Well you'd have to think they're talking about "deepest" as in, closest to the core of the earth, not necessarily the depth of the hole. [/b][/quote]
Well you'd still have to pick a referenc point (such as sea level) because the Earth isn't perfectly round.
I'm thinking they meant deepest as in closest to the mantle (because the crust isn't the same thickness in all places. If this is the case, I guess that's pretty cool, but then there would be two holes that came closer, so this isn't much to write home about. Either way, I'll stand by my conviction that the article is either wrong, or written so poorly that they can't communicate what they are trying to.
