    Where did you find this picture? Do you have a source?If this is fake, it's an incredibly sick joke. If it's real, then this is incredibly sick.

    I can't guarantee it's real, it was forwarded to me by my sister with the following note. I didn't make it up. That's all I know. Subject: FW: Found in Trade Center reckage missing(1).jpg. This is just an astonishing picture...this was from a camera found in the wreckage of the WTC, developed by the FBI for evidence and released on the net today....the guy still has no name and is missing ...

    I had this picture forwarded to me also. I heard there were eight or more workers on top of the WTC working on the antenna tower. If you really look at the guy's "backpack" it's not a backpack but a leather climbing belt slung over one shoulder. I believe I even see the main metal loop used to fasten oneself to the tower while working.If both of those observations are correct then the plane is the big question....Possible, but plausible?

    It is a fake. Note that shadows on the person and background buildings are the same. However, the plane does not have the same shadow pattern. Note that there is no fuselage shadow on the planes starboard wing.Boomer

    They were talking about this picture on the radio and said it was a fake. Pretty scary looking picture though! Also, do you think a camera with the film would have survived all that?! Don't you think the guy would have heard the plane and looked? Wouldn't whoever took the picture had said something? I don't believe it.[This message has been edited by Ms. Beast (edited 09-26-2001).]

    It's a fake. It was made by someone who obviously wanted it to be a private joke... it got out.He's dressed for winter. He'd be dying in that kind of heat.Look at the shadows. The guys face is lit from the right... the plane is lit from above. There's no way it could be real.christianps. With photoshop, anything is possible.

    FAKE! WTC observation deck is glassed in. Roof had concrete structural members not a waist high metal open railing. BEEN THERE. Observation deck and roof-- summer of 2000.Were the planes at WTC 2 or 4 engine models that crashed into the building?[This message has been edited by bradf111 (edited 09-26-2001).][This message has been edited by bradf111 (edited 09-26-2001).]

    Something bothered me all day about the "photo" until I looked again at the sun.Attack occured in AM therefore man is facing SOUTH to have sun on face and shaded parts. To be facing south at that time of day he would have to be on the NORTH TOWER which was hit second, by the second plane. Would anyone calmly be posing for a picture while facing the first tower that was already hit and blazing? The camera man's back would be toward the already blazing building for upwards of 17minutes before this second plane would have entered the picture for the hit on the tower.I know all believe it to be fake and justly so. Also the Empire State Building is "missing" from the skyline behind the subject.Maybe someone should forward this sick person's photo to the FBI as "evidence" in hopes of solving part of this terrible tragedy launched against us and NY City. This person could be identified by FBI posting it all over and someone could recognize him and get him the "attention" he needs!
