that's a big big FAKE LOL

Is it true? No, it's a hoax.

Why? At 8:45 AM EDT, American Airlines Flight 11 struck the northern side of 1 World Trade Center, the north tower. However, the World Trade Center's outdoor observation deck is located on the top of 2 World Trade Center, the south tower, that was later hit by United Airlines Flight 175. The north side of the 1 World Trade Center can't be seen - or photographed - from the observation deck on 2 World Trade Center.

Another thing to note, the observation deck of the World Trade Center did not open until 9:30, so no tourist could have been snapping pictures at 8:45.

The image also shows telltale signs of digital manipulation. The edges of the airplane and date in the lower right hand corner are blurry and indistinct. Digitally clipped images usually have a sharp border that may contrast sharply when pasted on top of another image. The contrasting border can be obscured though by blurring. While this may disguise the pasted border, it also loses the picture's detail in the blurred area.

I've seen that pic before, there was a site that had that pic, plus they had that same guy cut and pasted into other pics of disasters and weird places.
