What does that mean? Are you involved in this somehow?
Todd: I think Jay is involved in the recovery effort but he really can't disuss it (just my take on it). -Glenn

I know some detail. The bodies are going to be examined in NYC in the building I work for, for forensic analysis (DNA) The degration done to bodies in salt water for more than 12 hours makes it beyond reconizable, that is if the fish or sharks did not do their damage.

I had seen it on the news maybe a week or two ago that these fake photos were being circulated. They are indeed still frames from the pilot of the TV series "Lost".

How about this guy:

Depth of field (focus) and lighting are all wrong. Easily spotted as a fake.

I can't comment much because of restrictions but there have been no memory cards or sticks.The recovery is very minimal. The photos are indeed fake, note that the fact that it looks like a video screen paused with the blurry motion.
As for the bodies, they are coming to America

Yeah, that's a classic one that's been circulating around since 2001. Snopes dubbed it "Accidental Tourist" appropriately.

This hoax is deflated here: http://www.snopes.com/rumors/photos/tourist.asp

The woman in the left side of these photos is one of the main actors on LOST...Kate. Look closely and you can see the handcuffs she was wearing during the flight. The man to her left (your right) is the police officer who was escorting her on the plane.

Hey, good catch on the handcuffs! I must agree with you; it must be Kate of 'Lost'. That's pretty good for a "blindman!" LOL -Glenn

Well I guess that clears that up. Lesson learned, don't believe everything you get in emails.

Whenever I see anything like that in my e-mail, (and of course, when I see similiar postings on the forums ) that is one the first things I do is go look it up in Snopes. More often than not, it is usually bogus in some form or another (i.e, real photos but not as described, or completely fake or taken from a fictional source such as this case).

Yeah. A person really needs to be ready to reject the most-seemingly normal photos these days, let alone the dramatic ones. Remember the iceberg scene in Gore's movie? Faked.

The AIR FRANCE flight crashed in the middle of the night in a bad storm....and it was not an episode of LOST..................

The latest thinking is that the airplane was intact when it hit the water in a steep dive at high speed and the passengers were not wearing lifejackets, suggesting little warning or preparation.
