Lagos, Nigeria to Detroit, MI #terror #googlemaps

I put together this map which plots Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's journey from Lagos, Nigeria to Detroit, MI. On Christmas Day 2009 Umar failed in his attempt to blow up a Northwest Jet on its final approach to Detroit.

The map animates through early years of Umar's life and ends with the safe landing of Northwest Flight 253 in Detroit where Umar was taken into custody. The map starts up in auto play mode. You do not have to click anything. The map moves on to the next location after every 9 seconds. However if you wish to navigate between locations, click on the arrow buttons located in the lower left corner.

The Data sources for this Google Maps Mashup are: Wikipedia and MSNBC.
