There is no way that film would have survived the heat and collapse of the tower. I know you didn't doctor this picture Tap but whomever did should be ashamed of toying with people's emotion.

Plus the fact that the first plane to hit was the United flight. That is clearly an American Airlines plane and that one came from the other direction.
NTM, it was at least in the 70's in New York and this guy is dressed for Minnesota weather.

You're absolutely right, DF. My mom & I thought that picture was a little fishy too.

I don't know about fishy I think a better word to describe it would be sick.
Exactly.

Re: Pic
That picture is ****** up!!!! But anyhow, if you look at the damage to the North Tower, the outline of the collision is at an angle, which I imagine both terrorists were trained to do, I guess you would hit more floors in one impact at an angle...and that one is straight on...and would you stand still for the camera like that??? Human instinct would not take a picture like that....whoever did that is sick, nonetheless they could have used a tint and blending tool to make it look more realistic...theres my two cents.

Besides, from that angle, wouldn't the plane look REALLY big in the pic? I can't believe someone would have the AUDACITY to do this... ;_;

here's some info regarding the picture...
"One inevitable byproduct of a disaster of the enormity of the September 11 attacks is the dissemination of sick jokes that seem to make light of human tragedy. This is one of the first clear-cut examples related to this event. The photo and accompanying text (circulating in various versions) are fake.
It's a bit on the small side, but if you look closely at the picture you can just make out a panoramic view of Midtown Manhattan behind the blissfully unaware subject, indicating that the photographer is facing north. Only one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center on September 11 approached from that direction: the first, American Airlines Flight #11, which struck the north tower (One World Trade) at 8:45 a.m. The trouble is, the north tower had no rooftop observation deck such as pictured here. Even if it had, it wouldn't have been open to tourists at that hour."
besides the fact the the photo is obviously FAKE and the person who made it is a complete @ss

On the Fox 5 10:00 news last night they confimred that this picture was a hoax. Whoever did this deserves a swift kick in the @ss.
