Found this:

The new Aerial imagery available from the Google Labs experiments in Google Maps shows what looks like a plane crash at Alameda Point in California.

However worry not. The plane crash is actually a mock up created for an episode of the paramedic series Trauma.

The episode featured a mock plane crash for which pieces of a Boeing airliner were used to simulate a crashed plane. To view the images of the plane crash on Google Maps you will need to enable the Aerial Imagery option in Google Labs on Google Maps (open Google Maps and click on the green flask at the top of the page).

Thought so.  Note the emergency vehicles all lined up so nicely, and the portable toilets, trailers and cranes....

Is this new?

Play PAC-MAN in Google Maps
Welcome, Player 1! You can now play the classic arcade game PAC-MAN in Google Maps with streets as your maze. Avoid Blinky, Pinky, Inky, (and Clyde!) as you swerve the streets of some famous places around the world. But eat the pac-dots fast, because this game will only be around for a little while.

If you go to Google Maps you will see a button in the bottom left of the map. Click the Pacman button and Google Maps turns into a fully functioning Pacman game.

Dots are added to the roads and that yellow pill and colored ghosts appear. If you want to play on a different map then simply click on the 'return to Google Maps' link, pan to a different location, and click on the Pacman button again.
