European Space Imaging earthquake images of Amatrice, Italy

Munich, 24/08/16

On hearing about the earthquake early this morning European Space Imaging's satellite tasking operations team managed to collect the first satellite image of the damage at 10:21 am (UTC).

If you compare it to the high-resolution satellite image taken on the 9th August 2010 you can clearly see the effects of the earthquake in the town centre of Amatrice, Italy.
