I don't claim to be a math whiz, but if there are 5280 feet in a mile, that means there were 528 10 foot segments. If we use Tom's 20 seconds per segment allotment, doesn't that mean the one mile trip took 528 x 20= 10,560 seconds? There are 3,600 seconds in an hour, so the trip would have taken 2.9 hours (10,560/3600=2.9), which is pretty much in line with the published reports. It may have seemed like a week to those doing the lifting however...
