Discussed way back when (thank you!):

Epic Forum Thread on Concorde (2010) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8277343 - Sept 2014 (49 comments)

We should have another HN thead about this once the Boom boom settles down.

There's also that thread about the Belgian couple who drove across the Congo:

I call these kinds of forum threads "afternoon destroyers". It would be fun to weaponize them into a whole organized link page.

This is amazing. 10 minutes in I finally reached the entry labeled "Day 2" and closed the window out of self-defense. I'm going to send this link to annoying customer support clients to buy myself time.

Yeah, or create a CAPTCHA that is something like "what transmission components did this car need replaced before reaching Kinshasa" and hide your Tier 1 support reps behind it.
