UTA 772 Desert Memorial on Visible on Google Maps
A friend told me to go to a certain latitude and longitude on Google Maps. When I noticed it seemed to be in the middle of an African desert, I thought he was just sending nonsense. But when I zoomed in, my mind was blown. I noticed a tiny icon that looked like an airplane. So I did some more research and discovered there’s an incredibly tragic and beautiful story behind it. Here it is, from start to finish. (www.viralnova.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

Cool and humbling.... may the victims Rest in Peace, may the Memorial's builders be blessed...
Well, Khadaffi-Libya paid, but I'm sure the web runs deep and like 9/11 no one source although some have claimed credit. ((9/11 was not Bin-Laden's idea !!)) Nuff said.
Maybe not the original idea, but definitely the one carrying it out and claiming credit
I was working at CDG at this time - it was a sadness to hear that a jumbojet was destroyed with all the lifes on board only for political reasons
Life doesn't seem to mean anything to those folks over there, at least some of them
