Interesting Website of The Day - Global Incident Map

The Global Incident Map is a fun place to visit to keep tabs on what's going on in the world. Along with terrorism incident reports and threats (This part is free to look at, but you don't get real time updates w/out paying a fee), there are also incident reports regarding hazardous materials situations, forest fires, and Amber Alerts being issued across the United States. Clicking on an icon of interest will give you information about the incident and, sometimes, a link to a news story about it.

Some of the information is more current that the rest, but some of the maps have a search feature that lets you narrow down incidents within a specific time frame.

At any rate, it's a good site to waste a bit of free time and precious bandwith on.

Enjoy.
