What are the odds? Google cameras are taking aerial photos of Sydney Harbour when… Boom! Two ferries collide, sending smoke, fire, splinters and ash to the bottom of – um – nowhere?

Obviously, the photo is a composite of several images where the ferries just happen to overlap. But considering the iconic nature of Sydney Harbour, wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that somebody would check for overlaps like this?

Sydney Ferries have had a bit of bad press recently, but I don’t recall hearing about a half-sunken ferry at the terminal. Did I miss something?

    There are some like that in my hometown (Toowoomba) where cars are stuck together. Not to mention the fact that the satelite view and map view are about 10m away from each other :(
