Pictures of Katrina hoax (stunning)

[Newt]

Well, not a total spoof since they do seem to be storm pictures but not hurricane pictures. Katrina would not have produced such sharply defined edges.

 

Still - great pics and nice to see them.

Great photos, really impressive, no EXIF for the photos though ... unless it got stripped in excessive post processing done after the shots ... though if resized or processed in a program such as Macromedia Fireworks, it will be stripped ... Photoshop leaves EXIF in (I think).

 

Really hope they are real .... as sure are impressive, but lack of EXIF has small doubts in my mind.

A shame really.. I should have checked before I posted. What is the truth these days..

Those same pictures were posted around Oz as being pictures of a tornado that hit a town in Western Australia in May of this year. They were obviously a hoax by virtue of the fields of corn and the traffic being on the wrong side of the road. Dunno what people gain from such hoaxes, perhaps some of you remember this picture that was said to have come from a film in a camera that was found after the WTC towers collapsed.

 

 

It seemed a bit poignant at first, but a look around the net revealed this picture!

 

 

And then this one!

 

 

There others too! The guy certainly does get around!

I like the little digtal camera date on the Hindenburg pic.

Chevin, he may seem to get around but he never seems to get around to changing his clothes, according to the hindenburgh pic he's had the same gear on since 7pm on the 6th of may 1937!!!

Seen the fake one of the guy at top of Trade Center as plane hit on 9/11, thought I'd post this. Its the tragic story of Photo Journalist Bill Biggart, that some people may or may not know. He was sadly killed when the second tower came down while taking photos - however his Canon digital survived ... and so did the memory card inside it.

 

Story of what happened to him is here:

The photos from the memory card can be viewed here, definately not fake ones here ...

Photo 07 is frightening ... having stood a number of times outside the towers myself, putting myself in his shoes from where that photo was taken ... he was a brave man. The sheer size of the towers was unreal ... still remember my first time going over Brooklyn Bridge and gasping at the height of the buildings ... even more of a gasp when outside or in them.

 

Always very moving - and still seems unreal when I look at 9/11 images or video.

The weather pics make me feel so insignificant! Very scary... Where could you run too?

He was still in the same clobber as Godzilla wrecked the city behind him too!*LOL* That's another picture!

I don't know if this has already been posted on AN - more worst-taste Katrina naughtiness:
