TikTok Commenters Make Guesses
One of the TikTok users who responded to the Starbuck Island Google Earth video joked that it showed the Millennium Falcon from “Star Wars.” Another person remarked: “That’s how they delivered pizzas in the old days.”
Additional guesses from commenters included Noah’s Ark, a rock, a UFO, a Blockbuster Video, and an old runway from World War II.
Others joked that maybe it was a Starbucks Coffee location.
The Real Answer
While the jokes may have been funny and the video was slightly mysterious, the answer was less than thrilling.
In 2009, National Geographic published two YouTube videos about Dr. Enric Sala and “members of the Ocean Now team becoming stranded on Starbuck Island during an on-shore excursion.” At the 0:36 mark in the video, old dwellings are visible near the beach, explaining the Google Earth mystery.

The burning of Cork: When the fires stopped, many were left homeless and thousands jobless Reports detailed devastation faced by residents in days after December 11th-12th, 1920

When the fires stopped, the people of Cork were left sifting through debris, with many left homeless, thousands jobless and all counting the cost of blazes started by British forces.
That was the state of affairs described by the correspondent for The Irish Times in the days following the Burning of Cork on the night of December 11th-12th 1920.
That night, 100 years ago, British forces looted and burned buildings, leaving large portions of Cork city centre – including much of Patrick Street – destroyed. The mayhem followed an IRA ambush on a party of Auxilaries at Dillon’s Cross earlier in the day, which left one dead and others injured.
