When were the satellite images taken (can't see on mobile I think)?
The stain might as well be water running out from the building and that pile could be wood, because the size of the things doesn't make much sense,..
I appreciate the banana for scale.
This is possible, but you need to consider the context that the place is also a prison and in a hot climate country, it could also be gas or diesel stains reinforcing the idea of burning something.
Still, the size of the objects doesn't match human size if you measure from what might be a head to the other end of the object, might be clearer by measuring next to it
3m is close to 10ft
1)Are you having a stroke?
2)How the fuck are you using anything for scale from an overhead satellite image?
... using the measure tool built into the map.
Yeah but did you use Imperial or Metric units?
Look at the fucking screenshots I shared, the second one is just to show the measurement line next to an object similar to the one I measured in the first screenshot
What is the average height of men in the country? Some countries have low height because of sub-nutrition and the google tool could have a minimal error margin, also a large black or crimson stain next to possibly incendiary material is worrying giving the context, maybe they could be some kind of disposal, since the country is hot I don't think it is for heating if it is wood or something. Anyway this is wild articulation so idk
I don't think any large group of people are 10ft.
Oh sorry, I was thinking he was indicating that it could not be a human since 3M/2 is about 1,5M and it on the lower end on mens height, but he was saying that whatever it is on the map is 3M, I don't think it is 3M in a single thing because it seems like a pile.
If you go check on Google maps you can more clearly see that what I'm measuring is a single piece of something
You've never seen a 10ft wide pile of bodies? It's honestly small for a body pile, but still could easily be just the ones that died in that period when the satellite went over or something.
I can honestly say I have never seen a 10' wide pile of bodies...
I would hope most people have the same answer.
Okay, but you've never seen a 10' pile of clothes at a donation center, or a 10' pile of trash?
Think about it, assuming average height is 5' (short, I know) and a person is roughly 1 1/2' wide, the bottom later of a perfectly laid body pile is only going to be 12 people. The next layers will be smaller because it's less stable. You could easily have, say, thirty dead to make a 10' pile. In a prison of that size with those conditions, that's an easy number. 10' isn't a mass grave in WW2 or Syria.
3m (9.8ft)
