Remembering 9/11 with Google Maps
Nearly everybody can remember where they were when they heard that flight 11 had flown into the World Trade Center’s North Tower and that the South Tower had collapsed.
The National Geographic Channel has created this Google Map to commemorate the collective presence and kindness of strangers that got many people through the unimaginable horrors they witnessed that day.
On the 10th anniversary of 9/11 the National Geographic Channel is inviting everyone to rebuild this collective history of 9/11 by sharing their personal stories on an interactive Google Map.
The Remembering 9/11 Facebook app allows users to post brief accounts of their 9/11 experiences and mark their stories on the interactive map. Users are also able to explore all posted anecdotes by location and filter stories to see their friends’ stories and share comments.
The app is available worldwide in nine languages.

Actually, this is all National Geographic Channel - Discovery is not involved at all!!!
I love the application but did you actually use it? It's not Discovery Channel, it's National Geographic Channel - which makes me Love it even more.
Apologies for the temporary loss in brain power.
The post is now corrected and normal brain power has resumed.
