A series of waves crashed into some of the thousands of fans who were watching the Maverick surf contest. Just after 9 a.m. Saturday, 13 people were injured and at least 40 people were knocked off their feet near Pillar Point. Three people were transported by ambulance to local hospitals. Broken bones were among the injuries, which included a broken leg and a fractured ankle. Many of the spectators were standing on a short concrete wall and were thrown back into rocks or mud by a huge wave. Electronics equipment, amplifiers, speakers and tables were also tossed by the wave that hit between San Francisco and Santa Cruz in San Mateo County.

Why is there a blank space where a Google Street View once appeared?
Google developers recently changed the format and code of Google Street Views. The views have an improved interface, but in early January older ‘legacy’ Google Street View’ disappeared from view in situations where the Street View Code is embedded in a web page or blog. Viewers of web pages published using the older code simply see the blank color of the background of the page — white space, black space, or whatever background color is coded on the page.

Unfortunately the breakdown of Google Street View has affected over 100 pages on Arlingtoncardinal.com (select news reports) and StreetsofArlington.com (intersection view). A Google employee acknowledged the problem in a Google Map forum on January 16, 2010, and on January 23, 2010 announced that software developers are working on a fix that involves re-directing the old code to the new code.

Newly created Street Views after mid-January, 2010 show properly on web pages. The older Street Views should re-appear when Google provides the re-direct fix.
