Secret Swastika
When builders of the Coronado Naval Amphibious Base in San Diego planned this complex in 1967, satellite imagery was probably the furthest thing from their minds. But in 2007 Google Earth sleuths found that four unconnected buildings on the base formed an unfortunate shape when viewed from above: a swastika. The Navy says it's spending more than $600,000 to mask the shape. "We don't want to be associated with something as symbolic and hateful as a swastika," a spokesman said.
秘密的萬字文
當科羅拉多州的海軍陸戰隊基地的建筑師們在1967年計劃這一建筑群的時候，衛星地圖的出現可能是他們永遠不會想到的事情。但是，在2007年，谷歌地球的偵探們發現，基地上這四棟并沒有相連的建筑從上空俯瞰的時候卻形成了一個不吉利的圖案—萬字文。海軍方面說他們現在已經花了超過60萬美元用來掩飾這一形狀。“我們不想被認為與任何像萬字文這樣有不好暗示和令人討厭的東西有關聯，”一名發言人說。
