Reminds me of this freeway collapse from the Northridge Earthquake in 1994.
I remember seeing some coverage of that quake. Some news bimbo was standing on an overpass near the point where it had collapsed, and near the edge of the pavement was a police motorcycle, crashed, lying on it's side. No cop anywhere to be seen and no mention at all of the cop. I'm screaming at the bimbo "Where the he!! is the frakkin cop!?" About two hours later, some Einstein finally figured out cops don't usually park their bikes like that.

Your avatar...
Are you wearing a chef's hat or an elongated tinfoil hat? I get what either of those might mean. If it is a tinfoil chef's hat, I'll admit I haven't a freaking clue, as that just went off the righthand side of my "Wierd-o-Meter."
Or, is it something else, entirely?

That picture of the seal hunter that Jamis uses for his avatar?
That's actually a picture of him beating his kids creatively photoshopped...

The "web debate" is from people claiming its photoshopped or otherwise faked.
Yeah, but unless more info has been released, at the time I read it, the major sites like Snopes were calling it genuine.

And the article from CNN quotes the police in Utah that it is real, too.

Yes, and the cops in the story are calling it real also.
Stranger things have happened.
Although, the fact that so many people are debating whether or not it is real says a lot about how computers have changed peoples perception of reality.
Anyone remember the movie "Looker"?

Yup. Saw that debate on that "High School Dance" or whatever it's called girl. Nude picture that almost everyone was saying was Photoshopped, with many detailed technical explanations as to why it was fake, then she comes out and says it's genuine. Oops.
