Where On Google Earth Is The War On Terrorism?
Posted by Jimm in History, Technology on August 3rd, 2010
Google Earth is one of my favorite sites. You can download it for free at earth.google.com. From there, you can see anything you want to in the world via satellite. Today, I thought that it would be interesting if people could see the locations of the War on Terror. Where it all started and what it exactly looks like. I know in 2001, about a month after the attacks, my wife and I were in Washington DC and missed our exit because we were gawking at the destruction of the Pentagon building, just yards from the highway.

Sprint decided that they did not want to replace a phone that would not allow me to set my ringer to anything other than vibrate due to a software error.
