After the tragic events of 9/11, a photo appeared on the Internet showing a guy standing on the roof of the World Trade Center seconds before the plane crash.
Observant users, though, found some discrepancies here:
- The tourist couldn’t have been on the roof of WTC at the moment of the crash (8:45 a.m.) because the viewing platform only opened at 9:30 a.m.
- The plane was approaching the building from the wrong side.
- The plane wasn’t the right model.
- The shadows fell from the wrong angle for that time of day.
- The font used to put the date of the photo is not the regular one.
Thus, the myth of the "tourist of death" was busted.
