AP Offers Satellite Image of New Orleans Destruction

The Associated Press is offering Internet access to a satellite image
that covers most of New Orleans, detailed enough that viewers can zoom
in to check on particular neighborhoods and streets.

The image's resolution is high, at 2.4 meters per pixel. It is posted
in a format that allows quick viewing of any area a user zooms in
on. Users can quickly see what areas are under water and what
structures are still standing.

The initial image was taken Wednesday and supplied by the company
DigitalGlobe. AP will offer updated satellite images as as they become
available.

The image is available at:
