TV station falls for plane crash hoax


"A BOLIVIAN television news channel has been left red-faced after falling for a hoax that saw it claim pictures from the hit TV show Lost were actually the last moment of Air France flight AF447 before it plunged into the ocean on June 1."
 
 
I'd seen them and wondered myself about the time of day issue. I was pretty sure all the news reports had the Air France flight being during the night.
 
But also, the tail of the plane is visible in the first of the photos and it's not that of an Air France plane.
 
And as if the authorities, which would have possession of any recovered items, would have released them so soon.
