Recieved this on email this morning - suspect its probably a fake (or a screenshot from 'LOST')

But if real it would be pretty incredible?

anyone know what the inside of an A330 would look like?

(preparing to be shot down in flames)

  • *******************************************************

The world saw the disappearance of an A330 Air Frane during its trans Atlantic flight between Rio to Paris .

Here are two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed.

The two photos attached were taken by one of the passengers before the aircraft crashed. This extraordinary photographer kept his cool, even in his last moments of life, to take these photos. The photos were retrieved from the camera's memory stick. You will never again see photos like this.
In the first photo, there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see the tailplane and a vertical fin of the aircraft.
In the second photo, one of the passengers is seen being sucked out of the gaping hole.

The photos were found in a digital Casio Z750, amidst the debris. Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory Stick was recovered. Investigating the serial number of the camera, the owner was identified as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for children known in the outskirts of Porto Alegre .. It can be imagined that he was standing during the turbulence, he managed to take these photos, just seconds after the tail loss and the aircraft plunged. The structural stress probably ripped the engines away, diminishing the falling speed, protecting the electronic equipment but unfortunately not the victims. Paulo Muller leaves behind two daughters, Bruna and Beatriz.

Yes certainly genuine - it was a photographer fitted with lead boots so that he could stand up in a de-pressurised cabin, and take shots whilst his fellow passengers were getting sucked out the back of the plane.

On another note I have some magic beans for sale - how many can i put you down for?

Its not sick.
It may be stupid, dumb, and gullable. But posting stills from a TV show is hardly sick.

Presenting them as pics from the Air France crash where so many people lost their lives is a sick thing to do.

They were never presented as 'stills' from Lost.

Only the worlds biggest moron would actually believe that they were photogrpahs of the Air France crash. Seriously.
What happens if i did a stick drawing of a man with a knife and claimed it was Jack the Ripper - would that be sick?
Are you one of these people that gets offended on behalf of others?

Aren't those pictures from the movie "Alive" ?

The retelling of the true story about the plane crash victims in the Andes Mountans who had to turn to cannibalism to live?

Link

ETA: ah ok, it's Lost - just read the snopes link...

I only get offended on behalf of myself, and that's incredibly rare!

I saw the original e-mail with the pics that was circulated and presented as 'true'. I knew immediately it was false, but it's a sick fking attempt by some 'tard to cause upset. Some people aren't as wise as you obviously are.... I happened to have worked with the Captain of a ship who was on that AF flight.

If you think a stick drawing is the same as misrepresented photos of a recent tradgedy, then I take back the above comment about you being wise.

If I'm ever in the same unfortunate situation, the first thing I will do is grab my camera and snap a few shots to show people.

You know - after they pluck my lifeless, bloated corpse out of the sea.
