[G] Remembering the Titanic Posted: 14 Apr 2012 08:24 AM PDT Google Lat Long: Remembering the Titanic One hundred years ago, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and sank, along with three-quarters of the 2,200 passengers and the entire crew on board. It was her maiden voyage from England to New York City and has gone down in history as one of the deadliest maritime tragedies. The story of the Titanic has remained with us through the decades. It has inspired books and movies and is memorialized around the world in museums and monuments. Now, despite its depth on the sea floor, you can explore this ill-fated ship from the comfort of your home using Google Earth. Using imagery from National Geographic, we've created an updated 3D model of the Titanic. Explore different parts of the ship, from prow to stern by simply searching for "Titanic" in the Google Earth search box. 3D model of the RMS Titanic, as seen in Google Earth You can also join a guided expedition by diving into the new Titanic KML tour along featured in our Earth Gallery.

From vestiges of passengers long gone to its famous bridge, the legacy of the Titanic continues to grow a century after her fateful encounter.

[G] Zimmerman charged with murder, Earthquake in Indonesia, F-18 crashes into Virginia Beach apartment Posted: 13 Apr 2012 07:24 PM PDT YouTube Blog: Zimmerman charged with murder, Earthquake in Indonesia, F-18 crashes into Virginia Beach apartment Everyday on the CitizenTube channel (and @CitizenTube on Twitter), along with our curation partners @storyful, we look at how the top news stories are covered on YouTube. Each week we post a weekly recap of the top news stories of the week, as seen through the lens of both citizen-reported footage and professional news coverage. We watched the world's attention turn to Florida as George Zimmerman was charged with the second-degree murder of Trayvon Martin. We saw the ground in Indonesia shake as the country was rocked by a powerful earthquake, sparking tsunami fears. We witnessed dramatic scenes in Virginia Beach as an F-18 fighter jet crashed into an apartment block, starting a large fire. We observed tension and doubts surrounding the first days of a Syrian ceasefire, especially after attacks on a refugee camp across the Turkish border. We followed another twist on the US campaign trail as Rick Santorum bowed out of the race. We were on the edge of our seats as the final day of 76th US Masters golf tournament entered a playoff, with Bubba Watson eventually donning the fabled green jacket. We viewed Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano, erupt for the 24th time this year. We saw unrest in Bahrain as police fired tear gas on crowds during protests, both in support of a hunger-striker, and against the F1 Grand Prix race. We paid tribute to legendary 60 Minutes journalist Mike Wallace, who died this week aged 93, with a compilation of some of his classic interviews. We watched the classic London Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge fall to pieces as a swimmer interrupted the race. Come back to see the news unfold on YouTube.
