Birth of baby captured on Google Street View

WTF

A photograph taken in the Berlin suburb of Wilmersdorf shows a woman lying in the street after apparently giving birth while a kneeling man cradles a newborn baby.
A second woman is shown crouching to support the head of the new mother, who appears to be lying on a towel. A car is haphazardly parked next to them in the road with its door open.
The image, taken on Hubertusallee Street, has created a buzz on technology blogs, but some users have speculated that it may be a prank.
A German reader wrote on the Gizmodo website: "There is a hospital across the street and they have no knowledge of a birth right in front of their door.
"In the house is also an advertising agency that has no knowledge of a birth in front of their house."
No-one has yet claimed responsibility for the image, which Google has replaced with a new photograph of the street.
It is the latest in a series of bizarre events to be captured on Street View. Earlier this week, a naked man was spotted climbing into the boot of his car on the driveway of a house in Mannheim, south-west Germany.
In August a photograph emerged of what appeared to show a dead schoolgirl lying on the side of the road in Worcester.
It later turned out to be ten-year-old Azura Beebeejaun who was lying down playing dead with her friends.
Google was forced to remove several graphic images after its Brazilian Street View service captured a string of images of dead bodies days after going live in the South American country.

pretty amazing......the baby should see this when hes 20.

honestly, probably staged (seriously) - seems too 'amazing' to be real

Yeah it's not like they didn't know the google car was coming. Expect to see a lot of these stunts coming from Germany (like the naked guy and his dog)

Yeah... as unlikely as it is for this to actually occur, the chances everything will be perfectly laid out and captured at the EXACT moment it went by? Astronomical.

well, if the mother's ever embarrassed to tell her child where she came from, she could always say she found him/her on the streets...

Though I too agree that this is likely staged, you have to admit that while the odds are extremely huge, considering that they'll be filming a huge portion of all the streets in the world, the odds do lessen a bit. 1000km of road around the GVRD? No. 1,000,000km of road around the world? Possibly.

Why that baby birth on Google Streetview is a fake

A child is born on a roadside as a Google Streetview car swishes by. It’s almost good too good to be true. And it is.

The photo, which was apparently taken in the German suburb of Wilmersdorf, exactly outside No. 37 Hubertusallee, Berlin, looks like it was snapped by one of Google’s camera cars. It’s doing the rounds of Twitter and Facebook right now.

A man cradles a newborn baby in his hands beside a car which has been parked hurriedly on the street with its door open. Uh huh…

German website pcgames.de has called it out as a hoax, and it’s not hard to see why.

Here’s where the photo is supposed to have been taken. Notice how close it is to a nearby hospital?

Now, do you think they would have stopped the car 2 minutes form the hospital? I don’t think so.

Another reason it’s a fake?

Here’s the real Streetview picture of No. 37 Hubertusallee, Berlin.
http://eu.techcrunch.com/wp-content/...t-13.20.09.png
That’s right. It’s blurred out Along with the other 240,000 residents in Germany who opted to have their houses blurred out before the Street View service went live on earlier this month.

Lastly, Google Germany has confirmed its a fake. But it wasn’t really that hard to work out.

"Google was forced to remove several graphic images after its Brazilian Street View service captured a string of images of dead bodies days after going live in the South American country."

Yikes. I can just imagine some time in the future where street view is being done in active war zones with Google drones or something. Worldwide streetview, updating constantly.

Other ways people are lashing back at the censorship is going around and egging houses that have opted out, and leaving nasty notes in their mailboxes.
