Branson struck a more cautious tone last Wednesday, saying he was "obviously worried" that Fossett may be injured because he was wearing a watch capable of emitting an emergency distress signal. If Fossett were OK, Branson surmised, he would have been able to activate the manually operated signal. On the other hand news outlets also report: "There has been no sound detected from the plane's emergency locator radio beacon, which goes off if there is a hard impact."

...The Google Earth image seems to be different from the search images though....You have to load the latest set of images. There are instructions on the Mechanical Turk page.

I did that. Several times. So far, the images are different.

...I did that. Several times. So far, the images are different. ...They're the same for me. I don't know what to tell you other than I do know that you have to zoom in some after you copy/paste the coordinates into GE. They default at about 3300ft. The images on MTurk are at about 1500ft elevation.

If I was Fossett and my engine froze, I would glide down seeking a road or dirt path to land on. If Steve landed on a highway we would be watching him on TV right now. Check out all of the valleys, the dirt roads - you will be surprised to see a few cars appearing in the middle of no place. Trust that those people have radios, food and water.
