Well, in that case, they’d better start checking unmapped islands off of Honolulu.

All joking aside, please forward this tragic news story to as many people that you can. Steve has a better chance of being found through Google Earth images by thousands of Internet surfers than by air rescue. Go for it!

I don’t understand. Google Earth is rarely updated in most areas. Why would using Google Earth help in this situation?
The Google Earth pictures over my house for example are three years old...

Glad I'm not the only one.

When you participate, you download current photos of the search area and view them in Google Earth.

His aircraft is about the size of a pickup truck, more or less depending on how it hit.
You would need very high resolution pics to be able to see the wreck in the open. If it is in brush or trees, nearly impossible to see unless there was a good fire.

"I'm talking with friends at Google about seeing whether we can look at satellite images over the last four daysGoogle Earth images tend to be several years old. I don't think they'd be of much use. He might want to ask the NSA...

...I don’t understand. Google Earth is rarely updated in most areas. Why would using Google Earth help in this situation?...Google requested an updated satellite pass over the area. The new images have been available for the past few days as a download into Google Earth.
They're also using the new images for the search via Amazon.com's "Mechanical Turk" project: Steve Fossett Missing: Help find him by searching satellite imagery

It is pretty cool. The Google Earth image seems to be different from the search images though.
