TV station airs Lost as Air France crash footage

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.

Internet footage shows a Periodistas Asociados de Televisión (PAT) newsreader describing several shots from inside the plane as it broke in half.

The shots show passengers being sucked out of the back of the plane into midair.

I’ve got a buddy like that.

Always forwarding e mails about cell phones being given to telemarketers, chlorine in baby carrots, and using wasp spray against muggers.

Maybe he watches Bolivian news.

I’ve got a Bolivian watch I can sell you...oh wait, that’s a Bulova.Bwahaahaha. Nobody checks sources anymore I guess which is why our own MSM is in the crapper with Obama.
I think Rush coined the term “state run media” and it has certainly become that in the Obama era.

This is a much bigger hoax than Air France and you’ve fallen for it.

That is definitely a screen shot from “Lost”...but I don’t know if it’s the one they used.

What is the premise for the plane crash in the tv show, did they hit a Pterodactyl?

Trying to copy Airplane! where they show some air disaster movies to “calm” the passengers.

LOL!

Well, the short story is that electromagnetism from the Swan station on the island caused interference with the plane’s instruments.

If you’ve never watched the show, it’s just too difficult to explain.

Not all that easy if you have watched the show. I've never had a show that caused me to ask "WTF?" so often.

If you think that is weird, just wait until tonight... Photobucket when ABC shows offs their "Fair 'N Balanced" look at ObamaCare!

Jim, this will cure all of the universe's ills... Photobucket and we owe it all to ObamaCare enacted back in Star Date 2009!

Listen up! ObamaCare cured Aunt Bea's shingles... Photobucket and brought me back from the dead.

ObamaCare taught us how... Photobucket to serve man.

If we had had ObamaCare in 1944... Photobucket my movie would have had a happy ending!

ObamaCare will allow R2 to speak in English... Photobucket instead of that gibberish we dub in for him.

ObamaCare will allow me... Photobucket to tell all the jokes I want about slutty Sarah's skank daughters!

ObamaCare made me... Photobucket smarter.

Being a protected species like Blacks, Gays and Illegal Latino Aliens under ObamaCare... Photobucket I can have all the boob jobs I want!

ObamaCare gave me back... Photobucket my steel balls!

ObamaCare gave my proctologist a new way... Photobucket to do my prostate exam.

Bender, ObamaCare... Photobucket only allows one procedure to cure your ills.

And Barack assures me... Photobucket it will work miracles!

As Algore's college roommate, I can say ObamaCare works... Photobucket and so will you when you look right here.

Here is the Bolivian news report.

The weird part is, they included the shots from the ground, and there's no ground found around for hundreds of miles around the crash site.

You never watched Twin Peaks then, did you?

LOSTie (((PING)))!

It appears to have been a magnetic anomaly from the year 1977 that had been contained for roughly 3 decades ... excellent plot of free will versus predestination tied together with quantum mechanics and possibly string theory with alternate realities. It is a story of redemption on both physical and metaphysical levels.

The plot has to resolve whether time travel would create potential paradoxes or merely new strings of reality. Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes (Jorge Garcia ... the 4 8 15 16 23 42 kid millionaire) is basically the audience. He asks and ponders the unanswered questions. In one scene, a time altering event has just happened in 1977. Hurley, having just gone back in time from 2007, waves his hand before his eyes to see if he is disappearing.

More than you probably ever wanted to know ;-)
