redstone SG Google Earth updates (or rather backdate updating) Bandar Aceh to approx. when the tsunami hit. A great tragedy. See the sheer destruction.
spinsugar SG Huh, comparing nicole highway to banda aceh?? Are u sure u know wad u're talking about? Excerpts from National Geographic : "Two weeks after the Southeast Asian tsunami swamped the Indonesian city of Banda Aceh, thousands of bodies still cover the area. Looters are picking through the debris, and survivors, still in shock, wait for medical help, according to National Geographic photographer Chris Rainier. "Many eyewitnesses have compared the post-tsunami scene in Banda Aceh to that of Hiroshima, Japan, after it was hit by an atomic bomb during World War II." And that's just scratching the surface.
redstone SG Not only Aceh, but further down the coast. Blangme, Lho Kruet, Calang, Gleeburk, Lho-nga... All completely or majority wiped out. You can see brown patches by the coast, all were towns and villages. But strangely Muelaboh's map is from pre Dec 2005. Still can see it as it was last time.
