dont know if its real..just passing it along got it in an e-mail

The world saw the disappearance of an Air France aircraft during a trans Atlantic flight between Rio to Paris .

Two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed.

Unbelievable photos taken inside the aircraft that was involved in the crash.....


The two photos attached were apparently taken by one of the passengers in the aircraft, just 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.

These photos were found in a digital Casio Z750, amidst the remains in Serra do Cachimbo. Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory Stick was recovered. Investigating the serial number of the camera, the owner was identified as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for children known in the outskirts of Porto Alegre . It can be imagined that he was standing during the turbulence, he managed to take these photos, just seconds after the tail loss the aircraft plunged. So the camera was found near the cockpit. The structural stress probably ripped the engines away, diminishing the falling speed, protecting the electronic equipment but not unfortunately the victims. Paulo Muller leaves behind two daughters, Bruna and Beatriz.

Forwarded emails with spectacular claims are almost always fake.

I love getting those emails, they are entertaining if not factual.

I don't know how they come up with these crazy things...can you just "imagine" (picture in your mind) standing there taking pictures as the plane, that you are on, comes apart in mid air. They are entertaining alright. :lol:

The first season was awesome :thumbs2:
Thanks for reminding me why it's no big loss that I can't get ABC 13 any more. :smilelol5:
