wouldn’t something like Google Earth have confirmed that much earlier? what the hell did that location look like from a satellite if no one bothered to say “wait, there’s no island here.”

No one bothered to check.

I actually got a random video for "top 5 censored Google maps locations", Sandy Island was one. I'm guessing OP watched the same video, because it also "proves that probably" it was a pumice Island and captain Cook and some random whaling ship a hundred years later were wrong

And I can't be bothered to look into any of the flimsy claims made, because I'm not a sailor and I just don't care.

Islands can sink under the waves, satellites showed that there was nothing there now, but the research was done showed that nothing was ever there.
