Here’s a sad one: the Google Maps car took out a baby deer, and it recorded the entire process for all Google Maps users to see. For shame, Google Maps car!

As you follow the street view scene down Five Points Road in Rush, NY, you can see the deer run out in front of the car, get hit and then see it on the side of the road before the car pulls over. And that’s the end of the Street View data for Five Points Road.

My question is, they know this happened so why in the hell would they leave the pictures on Street View???

Thousands of Mazdas stranded on Pacific ship /illc0mm/2006/07/28/thousands-of-mazdas-stranded-on-pacific-ship/ /illc0mm/2006/07/28/thousands-of-mazdas-stranded-on-pacific-ship/#comments Fri, 28 Jul 2006 20:07:20 +0000 illc0mm /illc0mm/2006/07/28/thousands-of-mazdas-stranded-on-pacific-ship/ From (motoring.co.za):

The Coast Guard cutter Rush on standby with the disabled Cougar Ace in North Pacific Ocean.  Picture: AP/US Coast Guard Vancouver, British Columbia – The fate of thousands of Mazda cars was uncertain this week after the ship carrying them to North America rolled on its side in the Pacific Ocean.

The Cougar Ace rolled sideways when the massive ship’s ballast tank was adjusted.

The automaker had 4700 vehicles aboard the automobile carrier Cougar Ace that began taking on water on Sunday and listed so heavily that the 23 crew had to be rescued by the US Coast Guard.

The 199.3m Mitsui O.S.K. Lines ship was still afloat on Wednesday with its keel and propeller out of the water and did not appear to be sinking

A Coast Guard cutter was standing by near the Cougar Ace, about 370km south of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, and waiting for a salvage ship to arrive.

That sucks, I guess you probably want to stay away from any 2007 Mazdas 3 series or CX7s for a while.
