Last week, we did a mega New York City @quiztime-#ThursdayQuiz. This week (and the following), we'll do it borough by borough, same concept: geolocate the snapshots, connect the dots, see the figure. Brooklyn's first!
For reference, this was the outcome from last week's quiz. This week's Brooklyn quiz includes more visuals to geolocate.. Important note: geolocate the camera's position, NOT what you see.

And here's the @planet image of the Saki Air Base in color.
That's at least 8 destroyed warplanes in that single image, possibly more. The before image is from Aug. 9 at 11:10 local time, the after image from Aug. 10 at 16:26 local time. (I'm not entirely sure what happened to those Su-30s on the bottom right.)
This is a video of at least one destroyed Su-24 at that southern part of the tarmac. It's unclear what happened to those others (to be clear: orange box doesn't equal destroyed aircraft.)

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?

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.
