Yes, it’s a different one. The plane is lower in the water, and there are still people all around it. And in fact this even seems to be BEFORE Jacob Key was pointing to Lang’s plane coming, so by the time Lang got this close to photograqh it would have been after this, according to the story line.
We can’t see the frames of the 2 windows between the wing and the door at all in Puentes’ image. Compare that with the Lang photo in which we CAN see the top frame of those windows, even from farther away and with spray coming up behind the wing. Funny also that we didn’t see that spray from the plane’s wings in Puentes’ video.
It’s hard to tell from Lang’s photo what is underwater and what is not, but if you use the parts of the plane as reference points you can compare the progress of the plane’s submersion between the 2 sets of images.
And that’s what doesn’t make sense, because those reference points seem (to me) to show that Lang’s photos came earlier in the submersion process than Puentes’, based on what we can see versus what is already underwater.
“We can’t see the frames of the 2 windows between the wing and the door at all in Puentes’ image.”
You’ve got it all wrong. That frame from Puentes was taken from behind a wave that blocked part of the view. You are confusing the low angle point of view to draw entirely wrong conclusions. A one knot sea current can move Puentes and the others about 600 feet or two football fields in only ten minutes. The sea currents around there can be several knots in places. It makes perfect sense that Lang’s photos were taken long after Puentes took his pictures and was swept by the sea currents far away from the aircraft.
Making sense of it starts with realizing that it’s the same plane in all the photographs.
The M and the A are there in the N-number in both photographs along with other identifying marks.
My big question is did we see “all” the photos taken by Lang or not. We already know the go pro film was heavily edited. If we only get part of the evidence/story it’s hard to tell what is going on.
