Anybody seen this one before? Does anyone know if this photograph is real?

Unless the camera was recovered by the NTSB I'm going with photoshop.

Photochop.

Reminds me of the "Far Side" - "Say, what's a mountain goat doing way up here in a cloud bank?"

Of course it's real. And it's your fault fistful! laugh

It's got to be a photochop. There is no way those guys would be grinning like that when they are just about to die.

Nor would the photographer be calms and steady enough to take that nice, sharp pic.

There's also the teensy little problem of a camera actually surviving the crash. Two aircraft with a closing speed of, oh..., seven or eight hundred knots and said camera located at the primary point of impact. All that energy vs little plastic camera usually equals camera in itty bitty barely identifiable pieces, along with any film or storage media it contained. If that's not enough to kill the pic, the sticky red goo seeping into what's left of the camera will probably finish the job.

That photo has been circulating the net for a long, long time...

Oh sure, here we go again, everything's a photochop now, geez... rolleyes

I think this is a shop. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing a few shops in my time.

You actually have to ask that question? rolleyes

Actually, yes. Do the planes have enough room to still avoid each other, so that the camera survives? I don't know. Is it possible the plane just popped into view and the pilots don't know it's there, and the photographer hasn't had time to react yet? I don't know.

I don't see any pixies... undecided

It's every bit as real as this picture!

Could very easily be a simulator to teach pilots how to fly around airports.

That, or the "My God, look at the fuel gauge, we're all going to die, whoops, nevermind, it's just the intercom light"

Fake.

And while we're at it, the moon landing was real, and Lee Harvey Oswald kill Kennedy.

Dntsycnt · « **Reply #16 on:** May 31, 2008, 06:35:06 PM »

Dang it, "Killed," not, "Kill."

Typos never help when trying to be condescending.

Parker Dean · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2008, 07:24:06 PM »

Am I the only one that recognizes the oncoming plane as the one from It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World?

Reckon so. grin

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #19 on:** May 31, 2008, 08:54:24 PM »

It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time since I saw that one.

Fjolnirsson · « **Reply #20 on:** May 31, 2008, 09:02:20 PM »

Photoshopped.

The shadows give it away.... grin

bedlamite · « **Reply #21 on:** May 31, 2008, 09:09:26 PM »

That is a very real photoshop.

MicroBalrog · « **Reply #22 on:** June 01, 2008, 12:46:01 AM »

My vote is film screenshot, rather than photoshop.

seeker_two · « **Reply #23 on:** June 01, 2008, 03:33:48 AM »

I also think fistful is photoshopped....

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #24 on:** June 01, 2008, 05:04:03 AM »

Thanks, all.
