it. Filmed by a french film crew doing a documentary on the FDNY.

7. Good catch.
Plus the more I look at it, the more it looks like it is heading towards the South Tower.

The sky that morning was so blue it was unbelivable. I remember people mentioning what a beautiful day it was. Crip clear fall day.



Real picute of the sad day. No clouds in the sky

27. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky
It was a brilliant blue, the most amazingly clear weather that you will ever see in NY. A photo that always moves me:

4. Certainly doesn't look like it....
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 06:38 PM by Branjor
I'm from NYC and I know that plane is flying too low.

ETA: Yes, though, it does look too cloudy for 9/11/01.

8. If you zoom in on the plane, it looks odd.....
It looks like it was photo-shopped, to me....and that's my very non-expert opinion :shrug:

23. I confess...
While I didn't put WTC Guy in other places, I did Photoshop an entire "slideshow" of other "cultural icons" in WTC Guy's place.

Don't ask me why -- it just sort of exorcised some of the horror out of my system.

If anyone wants to see them, I'll put them back up on my server. In the meantime, I did this not too long ago...



Yes, I KNOW it's sick! But, like I said, it somehow exorcises the horror. (No flames, kids -- there's been a LOT worse posted! LOL)

12. No, not real
That's looking at the towers from the south, and the plane hit from the north (I'm pretty sure).

But, more importantly, 9-11 was an utterly gorgeous, cloud free day. So, no matter what direction the plane came in from, there is no way in hell this is a Sept. 11 photo.

It's also the wrong time of day - the left sides of the buildings should all be dark, since the sun would have beenb over to the right, since it was morning.

15. Don't know if it's a fake photo or not,
but it definitely was not taken on September 11, 2001. Bunny is right - the weather was blue skies and brilliant sunshine - what pilots call "severe clear". I was home that morning - in fact my building at the time is one of those pictured here. Strange/sad/creepy to see this pic.

17. Absolutely fake
The first tower hit was the North Tower on the North side(the one on the left from the left).

And 9/11 was a clear day.

Fake.

22. Maybe not fake, but taken on different day.
New York skies prior to 9/11 were full of jets. Could easily be a pic someone took with the plane in the background, thinking it was funny that it looks like the plane was going to hit.

Little did they know.

:(

28. I remember seeing black helicopters
Flying around right before the second plane hit the twin towers. After that we couldn't find them on the Internet and people remember seeing them.
