So two months ago, he has a message for the online-to-board Reddit . He had "some answers" and a person found in the proximity of the exact location.

Angel Sierra, a 34-year-old chef, told the BBC he replied to The Message because "it can help to show how people can work together around The World . I felt That I was something greater than me."

"But no, I didn't know That the earth was a Sandwich of a thing," he added.
