Just Downloaded and printed it off on our plotter at work. Kicks much ass. Thank you. This site loads way faster than Google earth as well.

Google earth still has not uploaded their new pics of the event. So keep checking folks.

later

It's apparently not a satellite image. Wired magazine says it's from these guys:

and it's from either a Cessna or an unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) as explained in that link: 2 photos a second, coupled with GPS coordinates.

Whatever.
