Fiery Jet Photo A Fake
We’ve been royally had, and the only saving grace is that so have thousands of others. Our thanks to an adroit reader who found photos of the American Airlines MD-80 from the original series, sans fire and smoke, on a French Web site that carried a fairly lively discussion (as far as our high school French could determine) on our faux pas. The original photo was taken by Tim Lane and appeared on Airliners.net.
