Steve Fossett, the first person to fly a plane around the world without refueling and the first person to fly around the world in a balloon went missing in Nevada. An airplane he was flying failed to return. No one has any idea where he is. http://mashable.com/2007/09/08/amazon-helps-in-search-for-steve-fossett/ Digg this to raise awareness: http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Dear_Digg_Help_find_Steve_Fossett_on_Google_Earth
such a shame he was able to set two decent records, yet he is now missing. its posts like these and ideas of using things like google earth (if it were real time) that the chances of finding somebody in distress is increased. i hope he is found.
