Google Earth has some amazing functions. Someone recently looked up the Coronado amphibious base outside San Diego, CA and found that the building had an amazing resemblance to a swastika from an aerial view.
Didn’t anyone notice this when they were looking at the building plans??? Apparently the buildings controversial shape is not distinguishable from nearby buildings. The building was built in the 1960’s. The U.S. Navy has decided to spend up to $600K to add landscaping and architectural modification to obscure the buildings overhead view.
Renovations are probably the best answer. It’s not good to have the U.S. Navy designing it’s buildings from Nazi symbology. Too bad it’s going to cost the tax payers $600K. Thats a lot to pay for someone’s little oversight.
Now to the other issue – who was looking up Navel bases on Google Earth and why?
