Secret Swastika
When builders of the Coronado Naval Amphibious Base in San Diego planned this complex in 1967, satellite imagery was probably the furthest thing from their minds. But in 2007 Google Earth sleuths found that four unconnected buildings on the base formed an unfortunate shape when viewed from above: a swastika. The Navy says it's spending more than $600,000 to mask the shape. "We don't want to be associated with something as symbolic and hateful as a swastika," a spokesman said.
秘密的万字文
当科罗拉多州的海军陆战队基地的建筑师们在1967年计划这一建筑群的时候，卫星地图的出现可能是他们永远不会想到的事情。但是，在2007年，谷歌地球的侦探们发现，基地上这四栋并没有相连的建筑从上空俯瞰的时候却形成了一个不吉利的图案—万字文。海军方面说他们现在已经花了超过60万美元用来掩饰这一形状。“我们不想被认为与任何像万字文这样有不好暗示和令人讨厌的东西有关联，”一名发言人说。
