PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

1. "RE: Fake Pic?" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-25-01 AT 05:57 PM (EST)Jizzy..... I'll save IC the trouble.... this is already posted on the Urban Legends site ..... http://www.snopes.com/rumors/crash.htm 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.)

2. "Grrrrrr" |
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.
