This site lets you select a point anywhere on earth and then shows you where you would come up if you were able to straight line plunge through the entire earth.

Jim

P.S. If you dug straight down from anywhere in North America you will not end up anywhere near China.

Ouch, I do not think it was correct for me as it dug straight south not through the earth.

My hole is off the west coast of Australia. (That sounded bad, You should get what I mean. Right?) I guess you could say its out in the middle of the Ocean on the west coast.

Me too, and I was promptly eaten by a shark.

BTW, there seems to be a little bug, when you click on "dig here", depending on the zoom factor, it seems like you end up in Antartica. But if you zoom out you will find the little red marker that is your actual exit point.

I would go from Buffalo, NY and I would end up in the ocean just off the southwest shore of Australia.
