I've been in the biz over 25 years. I think the photos are legit or someone is very good at photoshop. I have the two photos. Has anyone else seen these photos?
> 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!
> passen gers 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.
>
> 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 electronic equipment but not,
> unfortunately, the victims.
>
> Paulo Muller leaves behind two daughters, Bruna and Beatriz, from a
> previous relationship. The authorities were still pondering about
> showing these photos.

I dont know if I should post them, one of them is pretty graphic. If you read my post, I am asking if anyone else have seen them. There are many guys on here who are in the aviation biz.

That "strip amidst the Amazon jungle" that the Legacy landed at is a Brazillian Air Force Base.
The pilots of the Legacy (both Americans, they were ferrying the new airplane back to the US) are still being held in Brazil. There was also a reporter from the New York Times on board the Legacy, his blogs are pretty good reading as to what was felt and happened on board the airplane after the collision.
It appears that the Brazilian gov't is attempting to fabricate a case against them (the Legacy crew) and charge the crew with criminal negligence. The crew maintains that they were flying at the altitude assigned by Brazilian ATC...

I saw the pictures on another site and this comment was attached.
Comments: Hoax. The images above are video captures from the pilot episodes of the ABC television series "Lost" (note the handcuffs worn by the woman pictured on the left, a character recognizable to viewers of the series as Kate Austen, played by actress Evangeline Lilly). Similar images can be seen in video trailers for the series.

bilgewiper you are correct. The tail does not match Gol. Past 15 years, we have worked on Brazilian carriers exclusively. Gol does not fly to any of my stations in the U.S.

If the U.S. government did the same with all of the close calls and mishaps that the Brazilian carriers had in the past, well you know the story.....

Brazil let the Americans go home on Tuesday. They agreed to return if summoned for legal reasons.

Good to hear... my email has been down and I haven't been getting any of my news letters...
I guess they have been having riots in Brazil do to the ATC delays after all of this has happened...
