    Jarvey - its only three.

    Glittery - some pictures are older than others. Satelites don't take the whole earth at one - it is made up of amyn pictures - some old, some new. Best demonstrated by the broken .jpeg that is Stansted Airport. Not the two pictures of the terminal don't line up. :lol: I can testify it isn't like that in real life.
    I was talking about My Names picture and I ment microsofty windows.:rolleyes: :sour: :yum::confused:

    Well Maine Road's still standing, and The City of Manchester Stadium has only just started construction on these pics, and that was finished in 2002.

    There's me drinking cider with my friends in The Meadows in Edinburgh after uni (probably). That's usually where we sit cus there's a nice view of the ladies walking along the path and a bin nearby for rubbish, therefore I can categorically say that is me.

    Haha, ace. Shit scary if it is... they can watch you all the time... from space!



    Welcome to... the dead place. Where no-one lives. In one of the newest towns built comparativley. With all the facilities you need. Look, you can even see the Feris wheel standing at the fairground, and its shadow cast upon the ground:

    It is but it hasn't served as a reminder, there will be another disaster like that.

    Aye. Possibly (Probably?) At bloody Sellafield. It's taking the piss - Rename it, cos its fucked up, and since then, its nearly all gone tits up quite a few times... oldest reactors in the world you know. How long till lady luck has had enough and they don't save it?

    The Lessons learnt from Chernobyl were observed by the worldwide nuclear community - reactor designs were chaged from the USA to the USSR and nearly every other country. I don't think any unmodified Chernobyl-type reactors still are opperational. The other three opperated fine until closure in '04. Just that one... in the sarcophagus... remained dead.

    Still though, Nuclear reactors are pushed to far - the tests that blew up chernobyl probably are still opperated - such safty tests re a necessary precaution - you NEED to know what will happen if such a stiuation does occur. Sizewell was majourly overloaded when Bradwell was shut - it was straining. We observed these effects here - cuts, flickers, dimming, cuts and more cuts.

    Sigh. Should have built new reactors in the 80's, but the government at the time were far to busy... presumably. Either that or they didn't want to deal with Public opinion riding on the back of Chernobyl.

    Actually, google maps might be better than google earth or flashearth, I think... given, some areas are much clearer than others..

    http://maps.google.com/

    For example, thesite.org offices...

    zoom in two or three times...

    I hate to break it to you... look in the top left corner... it uses both Google's images, and Windows Live Local's!

    Best of two worlds. Flash Earth is just leeching images off the two rivals, giving consumers the best!
