[OSM-talk] Intriguing artifacts in GeoEye data

[ce-test, qualified testing bv - Gert Gremmen]

If you look at the coast of Haiti, west of port-au-prince
some strange artifacts are shown on a lot of places where
building and beach clubs (I presume) touch the coast line.

Look here for example:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=18.5474002361298&lon=-72.5111174583435&zoom=15

and enable the GeoEye data.

Under the sea level traces of the coastal buildings are seen. 

It seems as if the whole of Haiti coastline slided 50 meters southwards due to the quake.

It's strange however, that only human constructions leave traces, and this makes
this theory less probable.  

Any thoughts ???
