Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

Brazil-Mid-Air-1

Brazil-Mid-Air-2

Last month a B737 had a mid air collision with a Embraer Legacy while cruising at 35,000 feet over South America. The Embraer Legacy, though seriously damaged, with the winglet ripped off, managed to make a landing at a nearby airstrip in the midst of the Amazon jungle. The crew and passengers of the Embraer Legacy had no idea what they had hit. The B737, however, crashed killing all crew and passengers on board.

The two photos attached above were apparently taken by one of the passengers in the B737, after the collision and before the aircraft crashed. The photos were retrieved from the camera’s memory stick. You will never get to see photos like this. In the first photo there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see the tailplane and vertical fin of the aircraft. In the second photo one of the passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole.

THIS IS A HOAX !

You may have seen these pictures before. In fact you may have seen them a full two years before the air disaster even occurred in September 2006. You see these pictures are actually video captures from the September 2004 pilot episode of “Lost” on ABC-TV !

Read more about it, and don’t believe everything that you receive within your E-Mail’s Inbox – even if it was sent to you by a trusted co-worker, friend, or relative. Internet hoaxes dupe very intelligent people all the time. If it sounds (or looks) too unbelievable to be true then it probably isn’t true.
