“Every second, the plane takes a photo of the entire city and all the happenings within a 64sq km radius.”

I’m real sceptical of that claim. To capture a single snapshot of useful resolution over that size area would require terrabytes of information. To do it every second, not to mention downloading in real time? Not bloody likely. Even microwaves would not enough bandwidth.

A single photo at high enough resolution would do it. 64 sql km is a square 8x8 km or roughly 5 miles by 5 miles. The technology to do this has existed for quite a while.

Heck there are smartphones now with 41 megapixel resolution.

This photo was taken with a smartphone. Its not 64sq km but its a smartphone.
