Global "incidents" or terrorist acts are being charted now. This is quite informative.

I'm confused - a false alert in America gets the same symbol as an explosion in the Phillipines...

???

I am still trying navigate and learn what/how everything is reported or classified as.

Pretty cool to have real time events without the news media filtering the data for us. We had a bomb threat here locally at the courthouse and it is on the map. So, it's pretty accurate so far.

Thanks for the link; I’ve been missing it for quite some time.
Has anybody noticed that most of the “Incidents” are of the Chicken Little variety? Take this "Incident" from San Francisco:

[insidebayarea.com] CALIFORNIA - Man hijacks van at SFO airport
" man in a wheelchair hijacked a hotel van outside of San Francisco International Airport early Monday morning and took passengers on a brief joyride before abandoning the vehicle and disappearing into the pre-dawn darkness"

The man in the wheelchair must have been armed with a water pistol. I would also like to know how he got away so cleanly.
