Soon after Sept 11th, 2001, this picture was clogging everyone’s
e-mails. It is supposed to be the last picture taken on a roll of film
from a camera that somehow managed to survive the decimation of
everything in the Twin Towers. It was soon to be found as an altered
image. Firstly, the weather on the image did not match the real weather
on September 11th, 2001. Secondly, he is standing on the south tower,
but the first tower to be hit was the north tower. Thirdly, the
observation deck of the WTC was not open when the planes hit. Fourth,
the aircraft that struck the WTC were traveling at such a velocity that
only an extremely fast shutter speed would have rendered the amount of
detail on the aircraft pictured. Finally, the plane on the picture is
an American Boeing 757, while the planes that hit the WTC were Boeing
767s.

The Shark and the Helicopter









Helicopter Shark is a composition of two photographs that gives the
impression that a Great white shark is leaping out of the water
attacking military personnel climbing a suspended ladder attached to a
special forces UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. The photo was widely
circulated via email in 2001, along with a claim that it had been
chosen as “National Geographic Photo of the Year”. The final edited
photo was created by combining a photograph of a HH-60G Pave Hawk
helicopter taken by Lance Cheung for United States Air Force (USAF),
and a photo taken by South African photographer Charles Maxwell. While
the helicopter photo was in fact taken in front of the Golden Gate
Bridge, the photo of the shark was actually taken in False Bay, South
Africa. There are no known sightings of Great White sharks in San
Francisco Bay.
