As an Investigator you may have wished you had pictures of that horrible traffic accident you’re investigating. Have you ever thought to look in Google. That’s right, Google.
Ever since Google made satellite imagery available, everybody thinks it is only for finding a good restaurant. But when you think of it, the satellite takes pictures of what is happening when it flies over. For example, a truck crash (Google Earth coordinates 46.765669,-100.79274) outside of Bismarck, North Dakota.
An example of how far this can be taken is All Aircraft in Flight where more than 3300 images of planes in flight are identified. Or there is the Mirage fighter jet in a parking lot (Google Earth coordinates 48.825183,2.1985795) near Paris for those interested in the parking problems in France.
Check-out the Google Earth Communities site for more interesting stuff about Google Earth and its imagery.
