The Global Incident Map - Link of the Month!

[mcgillianaire]

Have you been to this site before?

When you click on the website link below, a world map comes up showing what strange & dangerous things are happening right now in every country in the entire world. This "map" updates every 300 seconds ... constantly 24/7. You can move the map around, zero in on any one area and actually up-load the story of what is going on. It is amazing when you can see the things that are happening in this world, sometimes right in your own city.

The Global Incident Map

I have been waiting for a website just like this!! It's ironic that the day I thought about googling for it, my dad sent me this link. I hadn't even told him about my intended googling. Wallahi, what timing!

Hum.

I don't know if it's a problem with their code or my browser, but the icons "move" as I zoom in on the map. The further I zoom in, the further south the icons appear.

I was wondering at first what was going on in Vancouver (BC), but by the time I zoomed in on it, it was actually something in Oregon.



Either way, pretty cool. The bomb blast in Christchurch surprised me.

I noticed the same thing! I thought there was a bomb attack near Madras... turns out it was in northern Sri Lanka.

Any news about the interview?

No news yet! They said I'd most probably find out on Monday, but I'm not taking any chances and checking my mail account every few minutes! :P

That's very nifty and kind of depressing.
