The original title (which makes a lot more sense than the abbreviated one used for the submission):
> The Colorado River disappeared from the geological record for 5 million years: Scientists now know where it went

Removing the word "record" actually make the HN-submitted title make more sense. Wrapping "disappeared" in quotes actually conveys more or less the same intent.

The HN title limit and automatic title editing is really the stupidest thing I've ever seen, especially for a site that claims to not want editorialized titles. Really ensures the exact opposite happens instead all the time.

An upstream river, followed by flowing into the Grand Canyon, thus becoming a continental river. Saved you a click. It’s still a cool read though.
