An “amazing” number of people have been scouring through satellite images to spot possible leads in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
Satellite imagery provider DigitalGlobe said Tuesday that it was uploading more shots of the Gulf of Thailand to its Tomnod website, where anyone can scroll through images and tag what might be rafts, wreckage, oil slicks or other markers. Many people noticing the same thing in the same spot would trigger an alert on the company’s end.
