Internet users are joining the massive search for the missing aviator Steve Fosset by using satellite imaging software, it has been reported.
Tools like Google Earth are being used to help in the search for Mr Fosset, who went missing on September 3rd. Up-to-date images of the vast deserts of Nevada provided by Google are adding to the efforts of hundreds of planes and helicopters scouring the region to find the record-setting pilot. Amazon is coordinating the online search through its Mechanical Turk system.
The adventurer's wife, Peggy Fosset, said: "The search for Steve Fossett is intense, thorough and highly professional. "Our hopes are high and I am confident of a successful resolution to this search." She went on to call the cooperation between the military, civilian bodies and law enforcement "incredible". Already seven previously uncharted plane wrecks have been found during the search.
