anyone rememeber the name of the thread here a few days ago where someone had posted the picture of the guy on the observ deck with a jet coming in in the background?

it jsut started going around our building like wildfire, I've had it sent to me 4 times so far this morning. I told them it was fake but only remembered there was no shadow and no blurring of the plane, they say I'm full of it because this photo is from a "reliable" source. Yah. just like all those virus warnings they send me from "AOL" and "IBM" I need more ammo from the thread, uhh...help?

The north tower was hit first, right where that plane "looks" like it will hit and that guy is standing on the north tower.

[b]Photo's a hoax - this is from www.snopes.com:[/b]

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: [Collected on the Internet, 2001]
We've seen thousands of pictures concerning the attack. However,
this one will make you cringe.  A simple tourist getting himself
photographed on the top of the WTC just seconds before the
tragedy . . . the camera was found in the rubble!!
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 http://topoftheworld.citysearch.com/ -- 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 were 9:30 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.)

It was a photoshopped fake.  I don't recall the WTC having an outdoor observation deck.  Only the Empire State Building has that.

Fuck you, Steel Rat. I was up that tower once myself and I don't recall there being an outdoor deck.  So if there was one, I didn't get on it for some reason.  Maybe it's the Sears Tower I was thinking of.  It was over a decade ago now, shit for brains.  And I guess I'll never get the chance to go refresh my fucking memory because our cake eating government couldn't protect its people even with a multi-billion dollar defense budget.

Why did you quote me above?  Did I not make myself clear?

No.  I just wanted to see you Flip off Steel_Rat again, since he was an ASS to me on my first post.

It was a common mistake for visitors not know there was only one tower with a deck. I'm with ya on this one.

Hey, don't get pissy with me just because you're a couple of fucking morons.

trickshot - You were wrong about there being public roof access above the Observation Deck and I corrected you.  Take it like a man instead of a child.

Flip_from_New_York doesn't like me because I tried to point out the difference between "break" and "brake" when it comes to guns, but apparently I was too subtle and he didn't get it.

You two cretins have less than one whole brain between you.  Tell me, which one of you two is the "man" in your relationship?
