Google Earth being used to find Steve Fossett
Steve Fossett, the "greatest aviator in the world" has been missing for a while now in the Nevada desert. Friends and air patrols have been frantically searching for him, and now Google could be in on the search. Fossett's friend, Sir Richard Branson, of Virgin fame, has tried to locate his buddy by using Google Earth to track his path. Branson has been in communication with his friends at Google to see if they can look over images of the last few days to see whether they can see which direction Fossett had been flying, and if they can pinpoint any disturbances that could have caused any issues.
So far three helicopters and six airplanes are involved in the search, focusing on a 600 sq mile area.

Regardless of the amount of, or lack of money, a lost person is a lost person, and should be found. I am certain lost, non celebrities also are looked for by someone who does care.

This has nothing to do with the search, but I was looking at area 51 on Google Earth and came across a photo titled Great country, Great war. I think this photo is very inappropriate. Ron
