Satellite Views Show Total Destruction
"Spiegel-Online" ^ | January 5, 2004 | "Spiegel-Online"

"Spiegel-Online"....DLR/Space Imaging....Satellitenbilder zeigen gewaltige Zerstörungen

The article mentions Internationale Charta "Space and Major Disasters" as the source of the photos.


Indian island of Trinkat: parts of the island swallowed completely by the sea.

This is a slide show, click the the picture or the link, then follow the arrows.

I don't have time to translate, but some tips:

Indien = India

Indische = Indian

Insel = Island

Meer = Sea

That scale of destruction beggars the language. There are no adequate superlatives.

Thanks for posting the thread and linking the graphics.

Some of those photos make me think we're nowhere near the death count (totals) that the obliteration of some whole towns makes it clear have taken place.

Indonesia has declared one 175,000 and one 75,000 population town completely wiped off the face of the earth.

That's about as bad a case of destruction as I have ever seen- like a wet nuclear strike, but there's more of it.

That one green foilage shot before, and nothing but dirt afterwards shot, sure does look like nuclear level devistation, sans the radiation.
