"Yesterday afternoon, I was using street views to research some locations around my office and I spotted something weird.  I was driving up Route 202 and it then appeared that the Street Views camera on top of the Google Maps Car started falling off the car.   I quickly made a video of it happening and posted at Search Engine Land. Here is the video:Here is a before and after picture:Google sent us a statement later on that the camera did not strike the floor.  Instead it either titled downwards or a screw or something got loose.  But it did not hit the floor, nor did the car flip over (not that I thought the car flipped over).  Here is Google's statement:Our Street View cameras are built on a mast that is able to be raised/lowered/angled by our car drivers \u2014 for things like going under bridges/overpasses, to more easily do camera tweaking, or when storing overnight. So it looks like in this case, the mast may have tilted or come a bit loose \u2013 the camera did not actually \u201Cfall off\u201D, and nobody was injured! (In fact, every few months a story will circulate about us \u201Chitting an overpass\u201D because the images show the camera suddenly at strange angles under a bridge, but it\u2019s actually because the driver did his duty and lowered/tilted it, but may not have shut off the camera from still photographing).Forum discussion at Google Maps Help."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
