A wierd pic.
« on: September 27, 2001, 03:53:47 PM »
Umm my friend sent me this e-mail that had a guy standing on the WTC and the plane was in the background.  I wish I could post it but the hotmail code is off.  Sorry about that.  Do I think it\'s real?  Yes and No.  Yes because it doesn\'t look fake.  No because wouldn\'t the film or camera melted?

You can\'t point a link to your hotmail box, but let me guess..

Is this the picture of the guy on top of the WTC with the plane coming in at him?  If so, ummmm......

Nope.
I wear a necklace now because I like to know when I\'m upside down.

Taken from the Urban Legends Reference
Origins:   A grim sense of humor and digital photo manipulation skills can produce some interesting results these days:

Aside from all the digital imperfections in this image (e.g., shadows of different objects don\'t correspond to the same light source, the date-time stamp is the wrong type of font), a number of logistical errors make the picture suspect beyond credibility:


September 11 was warm and sunny, not the type of day on which a tourist would have been decked out in a winter coat and hat.

The airliner in this picture is approaching from the north and would therefore have been the one which hit the north tower of the World Trade Center (WTC1), but WTC1 did not have an outdoor observation deck. WTC2 (the south tower) included an indoor observation deck on the 107th floor and an outdoor deck above the 110th floor, but WTC1 housed only Windows on the World, an indoor restaurant with a magnificent view of the city but no outdoor deck.

The operating hours in September for the WTC2 observatories were 9:30 A.M. to 9:30 P.M., meaning they opened too late for a tourist to have been present on one before the first plane hit at 8:49 A.M.

The aircraft shown is a Boeing 757 bearing American Airline markings, but Flight 11, the only American flight to crash into the World Trade Center, was a 767. (The 767 is a wide-body jet; the 757 is a smaller, standard-body craft.)


Now with that out of the way. What do you think of this? Now THAT is freaky.

That cat is the funniest thing ever.  A friend called me over to their computer several months ago and I could not explain to her that that cat is a fake.  I told her I could put a guppy their with Photoshop.

Oh yeah, the plane pic.  I really think it\'s sad that people aren\'t a little more skeptical with the proliferation of the internet.  Three things that hit me immediately were, the jacket, no fumes behind jet, and the totally fake date.  At least put a little blur on the date people.  

Oh, and was the guy freaking deaf?  I freaking 767 was 100 yards a way!!!

Yeah from what Ive heard experts said the pic isnt real because where is standing and how the plane is going and how the skyline is, that would have been freaky if it was real
