Google Earth discover new Ark being built in San Fransisco-true

[John Arton]

San Francisco port authority were amazed recently that when examining Google earth images for the port they discovered a large structure being built on one of their piers. This pier was not a designated building site and no permits to build there had been requested or issued. Closer examination of the structure, at first believed to be a big barge, revealed that it is a number of shipping containers being welded together. Rumour has it is that it is going to be a floating retail unit or is it?
Does the builder of this unknown structure know something we don't and if so is he perhaps building an Ark in anticipation of the next great flood because after all, the East Coast of England has just suffered higher tidal surges than those that led to devastation on the East Coast in 1953?
The truth is out there somewhere

Maybe he is expecting the BIG earthquake that is coming to the West Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The agency that oversees development in the San Francisco Bay in California has begun a formal investigation into the construction of a secretive Google Inc barge on an island in the bay. The probe, which began in the past week, will examine what permits are needed to build the barge and whether the owners of the Treasure Island pier where the vessel is moored have the proper permits, said Larry Goldzband, the executive director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission. Seems Google Earth has caught out Google ? http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2...servation-pier
