1) Wrong plane- that's an American Airlines, I believe it was a United Airlines

2) Wrong direction- this plane from my estimation is coming southbound across the
island of Manhattan

3) The planes hit early, probably before the observation deck opened

4) How did the camera or film survive?

5) Why is Woody Harrelson so bundled up in a knit hat and coat when Sept 11 2001 was a very warm and dry Summer day??

There is no digital camera that makes that digital signature of the date in that fashion. It was an American Airlines 767, though. Wrong direction, the photo is looking northeast and the plane is coming from the NE. The plane came from the N.

The image is obviously film, from its graininess and that wouldn't make much sense to have that date stamp on the bottom right in that resolution, so that was doctored after it was taken. The plane lacks a shadow, so the sun angle would be directly in front of the plane, but the mans face shows a shadow that suggests the sun is far off to the right.

Flight 11 struck the building much lower than the fake picture suggests as well.

Fake.

OK, so you lay out some so-called facts to disprove the veracity of the photo, but we all know how the government can alter things like the position of the sun in the sky.

one should also consider how fast the planes were flying. having a perfect picture without streaking would require super high speed camera.

Plus if you see the footage of the first plane hitting, it came in at an angle. The plane in the fake picture is in a picture-perfect short-final.

No, the first picture is not real.

However, the last two, from SRE and Gravis are, in fact, real.

Popular Mechanics did an entire issue proving these last two pictures to be real. Ben Chertoff wrote the lead article debunking the first picture and proving the other two pictures.

That picture is also real.

Notice the lasers coming out of the engines? That proves it is real.

Seriously, this photo has been known to be a fake for seven years. You must be pulling our leg.

Even the "9/11 troofers" debunked that picture pretty much the moment it hit the internet.

No, that picture is definitely fake. Meade would not go to New York for many reasons, including the lack of sweet tea and southern hospitality.
