Why do they block it out like that?

Virtual Earth is a little better still though it's not clear to =

I wasn't talking about the apple one, that's obviously time =
sensitive photos. But the ground zero photos were definitely pulled from =
terraserver. I used to have a bookmark to them that I would regularly = email
to people so I got to whitness first hand how they evaporated off = the server.
They also pulled the photos for area 51 off terraserver, don't =
know if those are on google or not as I've never checked.
But to be fair, check out these where terraserver is far FAR =
better
