Hi,

So I contacted Belga. The report was only used by Metro and Zondag. They
didn't think anyone else would pick up on it, and did not see any use in
correcting it in their own database. I did get a personal contact at Belga
we can call next time we do something, who promised to listen carefully
that time. And they will also contact Metro to ask and change their article
a bit (remove the Google Earth mention). I don't think it's a good idea to
share the e-mail here, but I can send it to anyone who requests it.

Apparently, they contacted someone from the university who said something
along the lines of "tracing on satellite pictures form the same sources
available in Google Earth". And they went from there. So yes, a little
press-training might be in order to avoid things like that.
