Camera detected in the ocean, owner found via Google+

For sale: Canon EOS 1000D
Note: once was under water in the Pacific Ocean, about a year.

The announcement of such comic content was published the day before yesterday by Canadian Marcus Thompson on the social network Google+. He explained that he had found a camera in the bay near the local harbor, where he was diving for work. The diver removed the SD card, cleaned it, inserted it into the card reader - and, to the surprise of Marcus, it worked! On the map were about fifty photographs from a family vacation. “So if you know a fireman from British Columbia who won the fire sport competition in 2010, lives with his beautiful wife and (already) two-year-old daughter, then let me know,” wrote Marcus Thompson on his blog.

A few years ago it was hard to imagine, but the search for the right person took only a few hours.

After half an hour, Google+ users found on the Web the results of firefighting competitions, after three hours - a video on Youtube, where you can see the face of the winner Graham Mackinsey, and soon the telephone number of his fire department. By evening, Marcus Thompson was able to call the owner of the camera and inform him of the find. Such is the power of social networks!

Here are a couple of photos of the “drowned woman”. Probably, it can no longer be restored. But at least the photos have been preserved.
