But WTF do I know. If pressed for a guess, I’d say it might be a warning to helicopters that the top of the container isn’t a safe landing spot. But WTF do I know.

Or google simply doesn’t have enough data of Guangzhou? [/QUOTE] No, its just that Google doesnt have high enough resolution for that area. So if you zoomed in any further it would be a big blur. My house didnt have good data until a few months ago and now it is VERY high resolution. Probs highest in UK. Sorry if the quote marks didnt come out. [QUOTE]Did I do anything wrong?

I think when they paint these "oil"s, Google Map was not out there. Anyway, it is really a good way to kill some extra energy to paint these huge "oil"s which can only be seen by satellites. I tried to use google to locate my house, but google says "...we don't have imagery at this zoom level...". Did I do anything wrong?

Im not saying they are asking for terrorism, but exactly who are they benefiting by writing that it is a hugely flammable substance for all pilots to see? Its not like during inventory they are going to say, "Hey Chao! Whats in this tank?": "Hang on I'll check the roof!" Wow.
