Story Map shows drastic change to the town of Lac-Mégantic’s landscape

by

Esri Canada today released this story map that shows the drastic change to the town of Lac-Mégantic’s landscape as the result of the train derailment that occurred on July 6, 2013. The map also shows the path of the runaway Montréal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train – from Nantes, Québec where it was parked, to where it started to roll downhill to downtown Lac-Mégantic where it exploded and then ended up a few kilometres away. Zoom out to see these 4 points on the map.

NOTE: credit to Esri Canada for developing the story map and DigitalGlobe for providing the infrared satellite imagery for this map.

This week really is about networking, and I don’t mean social networking, I’m talking about real networking where we sit down and talk with each other. We do this in exhibition booths over live demos, in the map gallery discussing an awesome map, at a white table drawing out code, charts, and notes, and sure, we also network poolside or at Petco Park while watching the Padres.
