hehe lolz !!!!

In the story, Manager vs Engineer, the engineer tells the manager he is "between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude." That location, in actuality, is somewhere in the Atlantic ocean southeast of Nova Scotia. This is the same North Atlantic area in which the Titanic sank.

It is highly unlikely that the engineer is walking, although some engineers do believe they can walk on water, and the manager is probably not that good of a balloonist to manage the winds and temperatures of the North Atlantic, or he would probably have a GPS and know exactly where he is rather than be lost. And the manager says he is a half hour overdue, which means whoever is waiting for him must be as big a fool as he is, since they are in the North Atlantic also. It is as Spock would say, "It is not likely that the data presented is accurate based on the observations."

For a more realistic position, might I suggest "between 42 and 44 degrees N. latitude, and between 83 and 85 degrees W. longitude." Within those coordinates are open flat farmland that is indeed actually used by balloonists, and engineers out for a stroll, including yours truly.
