    If you fly London to NY on a Concorde you can land with the local time being before your departure time. Because you fly faster than the earth's rotation. If you were to do this at the right time of day, you could see two sunrises in the same day.

    Ha! I knew there was a conspiracy hiding the truth about Concorde being shut down! Mankind's first affordable time machine, allowing for two sunrises the same day cannot be allowed for the masses!
