Beirut

Transition from a Google Earth image taken sometime before the current conflict to a recent satellite image purportedly taken after the bombing. The movie basically simulates a slow dissolve from one image into the other. Tracked the original photos from a link provided by Big Gav.

Original or photoshop? At the source you´ll find original higher res photos. I find it strange that a city block is leveled flat to the ground (no shadows casted) by some type of bombing (misiles artillery, etc...) and that a couple of buildings within the block still stand aparently unharmed. Pictures that have appeared in the media of the bombed buildings show structural damage but they still stand.

Just an opinion, not shure. I don´t support war, of any kind.
