A special #ThursdayQuiz for @quiztime today. During the +3 years that I've lived in the wonderful place that is New York City, I've taken many snapshots. Below are nearly 30 of those photos. Geolocate each one, plot the number on a map, and connect the dots. What do you see?
Wanna collaborate on this big quiz? Reply-to-all: @bayer_julia @y_vdw @LarsWienand @kollege @twone2 @Sector035 @fiete_stegers @dondude @mahrko @MCantow @nixintel @globograma @Tokyo_v2 @loegli @osintbear @post_fact @JudyMionki @__SpYdR__ @MeKassab @Johanna_Wild @OSINTtechniques

(bonus points if you identify the ship)
And that are the 27 photos. Good luck!
Love this. Could have been a bonus question: “Identify this car, of which you can only see a little bit.”
Getting closer. See this handy overview map by @fiete_stegers to see which ones are still left to solve..

The bullet that killed Shireen Abu Akleh came from the approx. position of an Israel military vehicle — most likely fired by a soldier from an elite unit. It was one of 16 bullets fired into the direction of 5 clearly marked journalists. Our investigation: nytimes.com/2022/06/20/wor…
Abu Akleh, 51, was a household name in the Middle East. Her killing drew global outrage and for Palestinians embodied the dangers of living under Israeli occupation. Palestinian deaths seldom attract int'l scrutiny and Israeli soldiers accused of crimes are rarely convicted.
We reconstructed the hours, minutes and seconds leading up to Abu Akleh’s killing by visiting the site, obtaining security camera footage, interviewing witnesses, analyzing bystanders videos, assessing official claims, and consulting audio, medical and weapons forensic experts.

Based on witness testimony and visual analysis, we reconstructed how, in late March, Malian soldiers and Russian mercenaries executed hundreds of men in the village of Moura. Their bodies were thrown into mass graves. w/ @ElianPeltier and @MadyCam76230202 nytimes.com/2022/05/31/wor…
It's March 27, the last Sunday before Ramadan, when thousands of merchants and villagers in the market of Moura, a town of mud brick buildings in the floodplain of the Inner Niger Delta in central Mali, are surprised by five low-flying helicopters thrumming overhead, some firing.
It's a joint operation by the Malian army and, as the French are withdrawing, their new allies: Russian operatives associated with Wagner. They're in pursuit of Islamist militants, who are indeed in Moura. Some of them try to flee, as others fire at the helicopters.

Zelensky said today that 87 have been killed in a Russian airstrike last week, May 16, on a military training facility in Desna, Chernihiv oblast, northeast of Kyiv — one of the deadliest single incidents since the beginning of the war.
nytimes.com/live/2022/05/2…
4 missiles were fired by a Russian aircraft at 5 am, a local official said, 2 of them hitting a building. This video shows flames pouring from the roof and upper windows of a five-storey building inside the military facility (50.929959, 30.759996).
Before (May 16) and after (May 18) satellite imagery of @planet of the damaged building, which is about 80 yards long, inside the Desna military training facility.

Wow! The work of the Visual Investigations team @nytimes colleagues has been honored with two Pulitzers: one for exposing the vast civilian toll of US-led airstrikes in the Middle East and another for revealing how police traffic stops turned deadly across the US.
This investigation into how the Pentagon bypassed basic internet searches when assessing claims of civilian casualties is part of the International Reporting body of work. Big congrats to all my team members and colleagues, some of which worked for years on these investigations.

This evening, @msalexkoroleva and I spoke with Serhiy Volyna, the acting commander of Ukraine's 36th Separate Marine Brigade inside the battered and besieged Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol. The call broke up five times, but here are some takeaways: nytimes.com/2022/04/29/wor…
“The situation in Mariupol is beyond a humanitarian catastrophe,” Volyna, whose earlier Facebook video urging for help went viral, said in the call. “It's hard to call what we have 'food.' The water we drink can scarcely be called potable.”
“We're unable to provide medical aid, neither to wounded soldiers nor to wounded civilians,” Volyna said. “There are no medications whatsoever. To give you an idea, medics are washing used bandages in order to reuse them.”

We analyzed dozens of battlefield radio transmissions between Russian forces in Ukraine during the initial invasion of Makariv, a town outside Kyiv. They reveal an army struggling with logistical problems and communication failures: nytimes.com/video/world/eu…
It's not clear why some Russian units use open frequencies, but it allows ham radio hobbyists to listen to and record real-time front line chatter via web-base radio receivers, which is what @projectowlosint, Ukraine Radio Watchers, @Shortwave_Spy, @sbreakintl & others are doing.
We focused on radio intercepts from the first 24 hours of the Russian assault on Makariv, a town west of Kyiv along the strategic E-40 highway. The intercepts give a rare unvarnished window into the operations of an invading army.
