Title: A330 Air France Crash Photographs
Post by: Redoverfarm on June 29, 2009, 07:16:32 PM
 Not real sure if these are authentic but appear to be.  Sort of makes you want to walk or drive.



The world saw the disappearance of an A330 Air France during its Trans
> Atlantic flight between Rio to Paris .
>
>       Here are two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed.
>
>       The two photos attached were taken by one of the passengers before the
> aircraft crashed. This extraordinary photographer kept his cool, even in his
> last moments of life, to take these photos. The photos were retrieved from
> the camera's memory stick. You will never again see photos like this.
>
>       In the first photo, there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through
> which you can see the tailplane and a vertical fin of the aircraft.
>
>       In the second photo, one of the passengers is seen being sucked out of
> the gaping hole.

> Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory Stick was recovered.
> Investigating the serial number of the camera, the owner was identified as

> 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 and the aircraft plunged. The structural stress probably ripped the
> engines away, diminishing the   falling speed, protecting the electronic
> equipment but unfortunately not the victims. Paulo Muller leaves behind two
> daughters, Bruna and Beatriz.

I said I didn't have any idea of how authentic they were.  I guess it is best to delete this thread.

Not necessarily --- now we know where they came from and I was sent these also and did not know it until now.
