Is this airline crash real or fake, you tell me and prove it true or false.



EDIT: While I have my doubts about it's authenticity and since there are so many naysayers, I will play devils advocate and try to show some evidence proving it's true.

Not enough time/radius to make that turn back to the beach.
False.

fake, considering the placement of the sun, the part of the plane you see should be darker as light would be hitting the other side when it first flies by.

When the camera looked up, the plane was well past him. When he turned around, the plane basically started over and passed him again. So fake.

- engine exhaust would have blown them into the sea
- if engines are dead, where's the dropped wind turbine?
- if engines are dead, the whole final approach is impossible
- even if engines are live and at full thrust, the time/radius/altitude combo is impossible
- splash speed is too low for this aircraft
- in some scenes, faker than James Bond riding the surf board in front of blue screen in a recent JB movie

False because the sound would be completely ear shattering if a plane flew that near to the guy shooting the 'film'

If you can show me a place to upload the original high quality WMV file, then I'll share it with all.

Did you see all the people on the shoreline running away as the plane landed?

That can't be real. It would be in the news everywhere. The pilot would have had to have been a fighter pilot, in a fighter. He turned at exactly the right angle to clear the hotel, and cleared it by less than 17 feet.

There have been many closer calls than 17feet in commercial aviation. Two, any respectable pilot, fighter or not is required to be able to make the proper corrective measures.

I don't know, but thermite/thermate must be involved somehow. That and the CIA.

I'm doubtful it is real because there is just something really off about it. The sound especially. I don't think it made a big enough splash (or the wave resulting from it).

It's a commercial, they cut out the part of the ad at the end.... seen it before.

and the sound wouldn't be too loud, hearing an F-22 fly over with afterburners on from about 300 feet away.... airliners are nothing, and the jets from those aren't too bad.

The radius it too small as has been pointed out.

The fact it's a commerical ends all.... [/thread]

There are other airports where the planes come very close to the buildings/beach like that that have made there way around hte internet as 'crashes' too.

This one was just stupid.

Paaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrtaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy :D

Many things make it seem fake, but the dead give away is the lack of water disturbance.
