Subject: WTC Picture Hoax
I don't know how many people here have seen this picture. But it shows a man on the observation desk of the 1st tower, posing for a photo with the plane in the background just about to hit it. There are plenty of reasons as to why this picture is a hoax - all of them make a lot of sense. But the thing that really gets me about it is that there would've been people like that in there. People such as tourists from other countries or other states that were really excited to be in the World Trade Centre. I personally sort of detached myself from the whole tragedy - I tried not to think of the innocent people in the buildings, but to think of the horrible nature of the attack. Although this picture I'm talking about is most probably a hoax, it reminds me of all the people who did die in the building and helps me see how truly atrocious these attacks were. I think some specific people here need to be reminded of that. So even if the picture was a fake, it conveyed to me what I suspect it was meant to convey.

check out snopes.com .. the observation deck wasn't open yet that day.. so at least there weren't many tourists in the building.
