Hey, IceCat...if you are still around, could you do one of your analysis on this pic? Others may have seen this pic before, but I just got it today. The caption read "the camera was found in the rubble". I REALLY doubt this is real pic, but would like your analysis anyway.

Thanks!

Claim: A photograph captured an unlucky tourist posing on the
observation deck of a World Trade Center tower seconds before a
hijacked airliner smashed into the building.

Status: False.

Example:

Origins: A grim sense of humor and digital photo manipulation
skills can produce some interesting results these days:

This picture is suspect beyond credibility because 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. As well, 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, but the north tower did not have an outdoor observation deck -- the south tower included an indoor observation deck on the 107th floor and an outdoor deck above the 110th floor, but the north tower housed Windows on the World, an indoor restaurant with a magnificent view of the city. In any case, the operating hours in September for the World Trade Center observatories were9:30 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. Other points to ponder include whether a camera would have survived the crash, fire, and fall intact, and whether the airplane depicted shouldn't appear larger and blurrier. (The shadows in the picture also seem to indicate a sun in the southeast, but the reflections on the plane look as though they were made by a sun in the southwest.)

I'll bet the person who faked this picture did so while taking a short break away from his or her regular job -- writing and launching computer viruses.

...perhaps someone who works for an anti-virus company or for Mircosoft, where they'd reap the benefits of a virus scare or sales of new computers.

I can appreciate sick morbid humor (yes, I can, honestly) sometimes, but I have to agree with my good and smart friends (all of you) about this one, it is just sick and morbid.

grrrrrr to whoever came up with it.
