Real picture?

Post by sbp »

Supposely, the camera with this film was found by a volunteer near the WTC, and they developed the film. This picture was on it.

I seriously doubt the validity of this picture.

For one, who is not going to notice a HUGE JET flying toward you? I mean, those engines are LOUD. I am sure the guy would have turned around.

It's framed to well, and you know how LOUD that sucker would be there? He'd have heard it and turned around before that.

PLus, notice how the whole picture is kind of grainy except for the "date" at the bottom? Its a fake and a disturbing one at that.

The plane is too level. The planes that hit the WTC came in angled to one side(tilted to the right or left that is)... the terrorists did this on purpose to cause maximum amount of damage.

That plane photo looks like it came from the manufacturer's or airline's website - it's a beauty shot.

No shadow on the left wind root either where there would be if the sun was hitting the plane from the right front as it's hitting the guy.

The photo of that plane was taken with the plane heading right into the sun, which again leads me to believe it's a promotional photo as that's what you would to if you were taking a picture of a plane in flight.

Another giveaway is the wingtips- there's no deflection. If this airplane were truly flying you would see a noticeable bend upward in the wingtips.
