Bad news clearinghouse

This is awesome. It's an almost-real-time map updated with disasters across the globe. At the time of this posting, there is a fire in Chicago, an ammonia spill in Minnesota, a ship collision off the coast of China, and a bus accident in Russia. The bus accident was about half an hour ago.

There are also area maps of just the US, just Europe, or just Hungary (it's a Hungarian website, after all).

This really is incredible. The journalistic value alone is staggering.
