Shhhh, its because we're all involved in the staging of this media event!

We all know the world is full of nuts. Go be a nut somewhere else.

Of course I came here with an opinion. This is called a discussion board, right?

I'm looking for your help to set me straight.

I have budged... I'm not focused on the wings anymore -- thanks for that... but everything else doesn't make sense.

And I just found this picture:



Now it's showing emergency shoots on both sides... that's NOT what was shown on the live media videos.

What in the world is going on here?

Those are slide/rafts. Once they are full, you cut the lanyard and float away from the aircraft. This picture was probably taken before the live media shots of which you speak. ie. The rafts were clear of the aircraft in the live media shots.

It is an insult to the entire industry when you spew garbage about photoshop and questioning whether the crash was real.

I'm sorry, but you don't deserve the right to discuss yesterday's crash because you have clearly insulted a very difficult and trying time for the passengers and flight crew of flight 1549.

Just because we are gifted with the "Freedom of Speech" in this country, that doesn't alleviate it us from our Responsibility to use it honorably.

Thats because the slides seperate from the aircraft to become life rafts. Two of the slides were floating away from the plane when the people were picked up by a boat. Thats why the slides were missing. Seriously, give it up.

I can't believe it, but I am going to reply to this joker....
Where are the ferries in your last shot?
This picture was taken probably right after they ditched. (looks like from another plane) There are two emergency CHUTES (spelling)these are detachable, and probably were detached as the ferries came, so they can get these pax (that's passengers).

As far as the nose, that has alredy been pointed out that SOMETIMES the birds will fly down, thus missing the nose, yet getting ingested into the engines (also pilots probably pulled up to try and avoid them.

BTW, what happened to the plane wreckage that flew into the Pentagon?
What REALLY happened to TWA off Long Island?

Also, I love your screen name. Kinda tells us about your personality traits.

I'll make you all a deal.

I leave right now if you show me a single authentic picture or video showing the emergency chutes being used as rafts.

I've been looking at this very closely and I've not seen a single instance. Not one.

I'm serious. I'll leave if you can show it to me. Because I can't find it.

Nothing. That's the point everybody is trying to make.

Different pictures, taken at different times, from different perspectives, show different things.

There's no conspiracy here...
