Default Erie in-cabin photo's from inside GOL 737 (0/1)

Last month a B737 had a mid air collision with a Embraer Legacy while
cruising at 35,000 feet over South America. The Embraer Legacy,
though seriously damaged, with the winglet ripped off, managed to make
a landing at a nearby airstrip in the midst of the Amazon jungle. The
crew and passengers of the Embraer Legacy had no idea what they had
hit. The B737, however, crashed killing all crew and passengers on
board.

The two photos attached above were apparently taken by one of the
passengers in the B737, after the collision and before the aircraft
crashed. The photos were retrieved from the camera's memory stick.
You will never get to see photos like this. In the first photo there
is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see the
tailplane and vertical fin of the aircraft. In the second photo one
of the passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole.
INCREDIBLE. AMAZING.


Photos taken inside the plane.


These photos were found in a digital Casio Z750, amidst the remains in
Serra do Cachimbo.
Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory Stick was recovered.
Major Antônio Nelson, from the Brazilian Air Force, is investigating
how the photos leaked into the Internet, pois representam graficamente
o ápice dessa tragédia, e não deveriam ter sido divulgadas.
Investigating the serial number of the camera the owner could be
identified, as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for children
known in the outskirts of Porto Alegre.
It can be imagined that he was standing during the impact with the
Embraer Legacy, and during the turbulence he managed to take these
photos,
Seconds after the tail loss the aircraft plunged, so the camera was
found near the cockpit.
the structural stress probably ripped the engines away, diminishing
the falling speed, protecting the eletronic equipament but not,
unfortunatly, the victims.
Paulo Muller leaves behind two daughters, Bruna and Beatriz, from a
previous relationship.
The authorities were still pondering about showing these photos.


Snopes has confirmed that the photos are a hoax. See:
