Hmmm, Jim I think you need to have your Testosterone level checked.
Grouchiness in older men is usually an indication of low
testosterone...

Actually, extensive independent research has revealed that USENET,
rather than low testosterone is possibly the highest ranking factor
attributed to old age grouchiness.

chair geniuses: STFU.

So did anyone find the wreckage after knowing where it was at on Google
Maps?

Not me.

I did about 1500 or so hits on the Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT),
which used imagery updated from various sources to make
sure that the images had been taken AFTER the loss of
the aircraft.

I haven't seen a final report on why the AMT search missed
the crash site. I have the impression that the good, new
imagery may not have included the place where we now know
the plane ended up.

Here's one critical report on AMT from shortly after
Amazon shut the search down:

http://www.network-centricadvocacy.n...e-fossett.html

Another interim take on "what went wrong" with the search:

http://adventure.nationalgeographic....-vlahos-text/1

It will be interesting to see updated reviews of the
various search strategies that folks used.
