Apologies for confusion in previous mail.  Though ranjha airport,  
nepalganj and neighbouring structures are already marked on  
wikimapia, the satellite image used as the base is not realtime, and  
will not show the landslide.  This image can be used as the pre- 
landslide reference image, and the current imagery needs to be  
purchased from someone like geoeye.  I am separately sending a mail  
to introduce you to colleagues who do this kind of stuff.

Best,
Anshu

  The Kathmandu Posts' website (www.kantipuronline.com) reports that  
five
hundred people are missing as the result of a massive landslide in the
far-western region of Nepal.  I was wondering if there is any way that
satellite images could be obtained which would either confirm or  
refute this
claim.
