Here's Looking @ Earth—The Train Wreck (Canadian Space Agency and CNES—Imagery)


[SatNews] Canada has obtained a very high resolution image of the Lac-Mégantic train wreck, which was captured on July 13th by Pléiades, a satellite of the CNES, the French space agency.


This picture was taken after Public Safety Canada activated the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters, in which the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is actively involved. The data shared in the context of the Charter help damage assessment and supported recovery efforts.
