An unorthodox group of searchers are approaching this problem from a non-traditional angle, using updated satellite imagery from Google Earth and a new Web service from Amazon called the Mechanical Turk. They hope to harness the wisdom of crowds to examine in detail images of all 10,000 square miles in hopes of locating the crash site and effecting a rescue of Mr. Fossett.
