I have viewed over-and-over all of the amazing reenactment videos of the events connected with 1549, and I have read and re-read the accompanying text. Awesome!

But nowhere could I find an explanation of the significance of the final screen of Central Park and adjacent areas. Being intimately familiar with the area, I first surmised that the greenish coloration totally covering the Park (and other areas I know to be open) represent trees and vegetation.

But when I drilled into the URL and expanded this screen, I saw the greenish areas are over what I perceive to be open water and isolated built-up areas.

And I cannot understand the differentiation in the areas colored in red, green and yellow and the dark spots where I know buildings exist. The tabs on the left and top give me no clue.

And finally, I fail to understand what this screen has to do with Flight 1549. What am I missing?
