Assist the Search for Malaysia Flight MH370 via Crowdsource


 
Search from Home by with DigitalGlobe Technology

An American satellite imaging company is enlisting the assistance of the public to get involved with the search for the still missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

 How would this work, you might be pondering?  DigitalGlobe, based in Longmont, Colorado has trained cameras from five orbiting satellites on the Gulf of Thailand. 

The public can help by clicking on the link and begin searching images to tag anything that looks suspicious.  Each pixel on a computer screen equals 0.5m on the ocean's surface.  Experts would then follow up on any leads. 

If you are interested in searching, follow the link:
