Google Fusion Tables used to map every death in leaked Iraq War documents - Polidicks

[quote]The Wikileaks Iraq war logs provide us with a unique picture of every death in Iraq. These are those events mapped using Google Fusion tables[/quote] [url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/datablog/interactive/2010/oct/23/wikileaks-iraq-deaths-map[/url] Check it out, it's pretty interesting. Every death is marked with a dot, and every dot gives what happened, who was wounded or killed (Coalition, Iraq, Civilian, or Enemy), the date, lat and long, and report number.

That's really interesting.

That is a sick amount of dots.

Kinda wish they were color coded.

So many deaths.

[QUOTE=JDER14;25587507]Kinda wish they were color coded.[/QUOTE] You would run out of colors.

[QUOTE=RayDark;25587610]You would run out of colors.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure he meant like 1 color for accidental deaths 1 color for civilian deaths 1 color for US deaths 1 color for an event where no one died, just wounded etc.

Why isn't [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_12,_2007,_Baghdad_airstrike]the July 12 airstrike on civilians[/url] marked on the map?

A lot of the dots are lined up, what's with that?

Jesus, look at the ones in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

[QUOTE=Sharker;25588223]A lot of the dots are lined up, what's with that?[/QUOTE] Possibly roads? Roadside bombs are pretty common out there as well.

stop this. stop this right fucking [b]now.[/b]

Well, at least they killed a few enemies. But a shit ton of civilians along the way :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Egevened;25588447]stop this. stop this right fucking [B]now.[/B][/QUOTE] Are you dumb? The war in Iraq has pretty much stopped. A big portion of civilian deaths on here are from IEDS.

Have you guys checked out the ones at the airport. Once of them states a Coalition soldier killed with reasons as other close to the air dock. Makes me wonder if he got overrun by an air plane.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;25588593]The Holocaust. "That was our great grand dad, the one near the middle next to about [b]26,000[/b] other guys"[/QUOTE] I fixed it a little bit.

[QUOTE=Sharker;25588223]A lot of the dots are lined up, what's with that?[/QUOTE] Busy areas.

Click on the dots, you can see what happened.

What the fuck has America been up to. I kept zooming out and more and more dots showed up. Each dot represents a life being lost. [editline]23rd October 2010[/editline] I just found an assassination mission where they killed 14 civilians.. and no enemies. Well done.
