Tomnod Nina Rescue: Website Tomnod.com is now being used in order to help the search for Malaysia Airline's missing plane. Tomnod Nina Rescue uses crowdsourcing to help find the jet. The crowdsourcing method uses the public's efforts in order to help the experts search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet and solve the mystery of Flight 370 disappearing over the South China Sea.
If the Tomnod Nina Rescue proves anything, it shows that despite the wars and violence happening in the world, there are still hundreds of thousands of good people out there willing to spend time and effort to help other human beings unknown to them. Good Samaritans are now willingly giving their time to hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet using detailed satellite image posts by DigitalGlobe, the Colorado firm who a commercial satellite network used for Tomnod.
Now, through DigitalGlobe's website, anyone can point out any suspicious picture that may be related to the Malaysia Airlines' jet disappearance. Luke Barrington of DigitalGlobe told CNN affiliate KMGH, "This is a real needle-in-the-haystack problem, except the haystack is in the middle of the ocean. I will ask you to mark anything that looks interesting, any signs of wreckage or life rafts." DigitalGlobe's satellite can capture details as small as a home plate, but they have to face scouring 1,235 square miles of detailed images on one of DigitalGlobe's websites, Tomnod.com. This is where crowdsourcing can help the search with the Tomnod Nina Rescue in Facebook.
DigitalGlobe has activated its subscription service to emergency managers in response to the Malaysia Airlines plane's disappearance. This offers online access to satellite images before and after the incident, according to the firm's website.
Tomnod Nina Rescue help available in Facebook and through their official website here.
According to an affiliate's report, the firm has used crowdsourcing before during November's Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, Oklahoma's tornado damage, Colorado floods, and the location of the remains of Peru's missing hikers.
