VIRAL PHOTOS THAT TURNED OUT TO BE FAKE
Added on: 13th Oct 2015
PEOPLE IN CHINA HAVE TO WATCH THE SUNRISE
ON A SCREEN BECAUSE OF THE SMOG
Although this screen in Tiananmen Square does show a sunrise,
it is only part of a commercial and it plays year round whether
there is heavy smog or not.
THIS SYRIAN BOY IS SLEEPING BETWEEN THE
GRAVES OF HIS PARENTS
This photo was actually part of an art project by 25-year-old
Abdul Aziz al-Otaibi from Saudi Arabia. He wanted to show how a
child’s love for his parents is eternal. According to him it has
nothing to do with the humanitarian crisis in Syria.
THIS MAN WAS MAKING DEATH MASKS FOR
SOLDIERS IN WORLD WAR I
While he was making masks, they were actually for soldiers who
survived the war with serious facial deformations.
THESE PURPLE TREES SURROUND THE FAIRY POOLS
ON THE ISLE OF SKYE IN SCOTLAND
Actually, these trees were photographed in New Zealand and then
photoshopped (original on the right).
THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS IN ALASKA
As you can see on the right, this photo is actually the Orion Nebula
mashed together with some mountains. Deviant art member
Jeddaka is responsible for this one.
THIS TOURIST TOOK A PICTURE RIGHT BEFORE
THE PLANE HIT ON 9/11 AND SOMEONE FOUND HIS CAMERA
There are so many things wrong with this photo that it was known
to be a hoax almost right away (wrong airline, wrong direction, etc.)
It wasn’t until a little later though that Péter Guzli of Hungary was
identified as the one in the photo and he admitted it was a hoax.
THE ROMNEY/MONEY SIGN
In real life they managed to spell the name right. Some
trickster just switched the “m” and the “o”.
THIS IS A PICTURE OF 2004 INDIAN OCEAN TSUNAMI
No it’s not. It’s a picture of the Chilean coastline with
some waves photoshopped in.
SOMEONE TOOK A PICTURE WHILE AIR FRANCE FLIGHT 447
WAS BREAKING UP OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN IN 2009
In reality this is just a scene from the TV show Lost.
