Global Incident Map
tagged B.C., Google Maps, Islam, North America, Prince George and Terrorism
A useful site that uses Google Maps as its tech base, and then overlays information in the news about terror attacks on it. It updates every 300 seconds or so. Very cool, if somewhat sobering.
What’s interesting to note is that while the whole world is indeed affected by acts of terrorism which get displayed on the map (there was even a recent incident in Prince George, B.C., in which a drunken man hijacked a bus with five passengers), there is a palpable difference in the “quality” of the incidents in, say, North America versus those in the Muslim world. The most violent incidents are, obviously, found in the latter.
