Google Makes Street View Images Of Post-Tsunami Japan Available On Custom Site

futureIn July, Google announced that it would be sending its Street View cars through the areas of Japan stricken by the March earthquake and tsunami. Today the work of stitching and annotating is finished and the data is available to be browsed like any other Street View location on a special website they've called "Build the Memory," though it is also labeled as Memories for the Future.A little clicking around brought me to several affecting sights, for instance a tranquil playfield converted to an enormous debris dump near Sendai. The location they feature in the blog post also really allows you to see the devastation at close range.
