Japan: Before & After

This series by HuffPo's Mike Sparks is one of the coolest (and most useful) applications of multimedia I've seen so far regarding the ongoing disaster Japan.

Part of the reason I like it so much is because it's so simple. Sparks took images from Google Maps that were taken before the earthquake/tsunami, then layered images of the same terrain taken after the disaster over top.

As you mouse over the images, the before shot switches to the after shot. It's as cool as it is devastating.
