WTC Tourist picture hoax explained

I am tired of getting picture email in my inbox… so I thought I’d help preach the truth.

“This image first appeared a few days after 9/11. Many people believed it to be real, the common belief being that the picture was found on a camera in the debris of the WTC. However, this could not be further from the truth. After much speculation, it was found to be an edited picture, or a hoax. You can read all the things wrong with the picture on snopes.com. The original source was indeed the man who appears in the photo, who you can read more about here.”

Obviously the reason why this picture is insanely forwarded is the ‘shock value’ you get when looking at it ...at least have the common sense to realize this picture isn’t real.
