Richard Branson hopes Google Earth will help find Steve Fossett
The search is continuing for pilot Steve Fossett, who’s gone missing over the Nevada desert. Former flying companion Richard Branson is turning to Google Earth in the hope that it might help find Fossett.
“I’m talking with friends at Google about seeing whether we can look at satellite images over the last four days to see whether they can see which direction he might have been flying and whether they can see any disturbances anywhere that they can pin from space,” he told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in an interview.
See, Google Earth is good for more than hunting down mysterious US army alien bases when you should be working. Fingers crossed for Fossett’s safe return.
