Pakistan Quake Zone overlays

From Anne Wright at the Global Connection Project:

Got some happy news from Google Earth: They've got some static overlays of a strip of fresh Digital Globe satellite images from after the quake up. The strip runs North/South from a little above the Naran Valley, past Muzaffarabad (misses it to the east), and ends up about level with Rawalpindi. You've got to click on an individual red dot to pull in the overlay texture. I've attached a netlink KML and a couple of placemarks containing nice views of the Naran slice. If you click on the red dot right next to the placemarks it'll pull in the texture you see in the screenshots.

 

Hopefully we'll have VBR of this up in the not-too-distant future, though we've got some technical challenges to overcome first...

UPDATE from Kenson Yee at Google:

We have 3 scenes at:

Extents are lat/lon approximations. These images are the 2k x 2k static overlays.
