A330 Air France crash - onboard Memory Stick photo's

[Chief]

Hi all. Got these sent to me on an email and I'm looking for validation that the images are indeed real - Pretty Crazy if they are: Text and Photo's below.

Anyone else heard about this story?

Feel so sad for all the passengers including the extraordinary photographer, who kept his cool even in his last moments of life and took this photo. Hats off to him!!!

The world saw the disappearance of an A330 Air France during a Tran’s Atlantic flight between Rio to Paris.Two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed. Unbelievable! Photos taken inside the GOL B737 aircraft that was involved in the crash.

The two photos attached were apparently taken by one of the passengers in the B737, just 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 tail plane and vertical fin of the aircraft. In the second photo, one of the passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole.

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. Investigating the serial number of the camera, the owner was 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 turbulence, he managed to take these photos, just 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.

Ahhh.. Answered my own question!

The images displayed above have nothing to do with that tragic accident, they're screen shots from the pilot episode of the popular ABC television series Lost.

Actress Evangeline Lilly, who portrays the character Kate Austen in that show, is clearly identifiable in the left-hand side of the first photograph. Also, the tail section shown breaking away from the airliner in the first photograph bears the logo of the fictional Oceanic Airlines used in that TV series:

I thought I remembered that scene.
Lost is one of my favorite shows and I think they even did a flashback to this scene once or twice.
