look at the legs and the obvious line on the photo on the left. WTF?

This will be in interesting story. At first I believed it was just a crash. They found some parts, an oil slick, and now the story changes and the military tracked, but apparently did nothing, the airplane as it flew low, with the transponder off, out over the Malacca Strait?

one does not need a tin foil hat to call bullshit on the media release of this event.

The photo is not a big deal. They just pasted the legs to give an incomplete photo some context. I think it is a stretch to even call it photoshopped as they made no attempt to actually merge the two images.

On the other hand this whole story just gets crazier and crazier. Ridiculous that all of that effort and money was spent searching an area the military already knew would not contain wreckage.

Why would a photo be incomplete? If so then leave it incomplete, why shop someone else's legs to complete? Fishy it is missing/shopped. As in why I couldn't tell ya.

Incompetency is often mistaken for conspiracy
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Ain't it the truth.

If you look closely you can see the lower half of the photo on the left is the same as the photo on the right. Almost certainly a botched cut-and-paste or a printer glitch.

I have no idea why the airplane disappeared--mechanical failure, terrorism, alien abductors--but I doubt photoshopping was involved.

I would guess the photo was taken from a different camera or a closer angle. There are plenty of weird things going on with this story but the photo isn't one of them.

Perhaps my tinfoil hat jest was a poor choice as now you think I am making some conspiracy theory.

It could absolutely be a bunch of bumbling fools who have no idea what they are doing. It could be 100 different departments releasing info without clearing anything through one source creating the confusion.

I noticed the photo, while reading about all the other weird crap. I found it curious that someone felt it was a good idea to release a photo like that to a national source. Did they think no one would notice? I still have seen no mention of it though. If it was blurry or if the guy was wearing a skirt or something, just crop it. Why go to even the moderate trouble of cutting an pasting?

Interesting to find out for sure. The military guy who said it was flying low, transponder off, out to the Strait, is now saying he never said that.

Almost looks like they just erased a part of the pic.

Like maybe luggage or something.

Or a bomb.

Who knows?

Looks like they took the bottom half of the right picture and added it to the picture on the left.
