E an anonymous Brazilian turned celebrity, of the night for the day, after the attempted against ones to the World Trade Center. The face of a trader of Campinas, in the interior of São Paulo, appeared in sets of ten of images, that are circulating for the InterNet -- the world-wide net of computers. In most famous, it it appears in the high one of the World Trade Center with an airplane you give if to shock with the tower. It sees in the news article of Mayan Cristina what the electronic assembly made in the life of this Brazilian.
The photo seemed plus an instant of the attempted against one to the World Trade Center. In the truth, an assembly made in the computer. The image circulated for the InterNet and the tourist if it became witness of other tragedies, appearing in assemblies of the murder of John Kennedy, in the Titanic, the film Velocidade Máxima, film E.T. etc.
The tourist was found by our news article in Campinas, is the trader Jose Combed Robert, 41 years, a common person who if became celebrity after having its face circulating for the whole world never saw Web. It went up to the top of the twin towers, although to have visited New York.
For distrust, he delayed 1 month more than to reveal of entire body. Now, already he gave until interviews for international publications. Como I am dealing with this? I cannot speak to you. This is a very new thing and I was not prepared. I know of bagunça that he generated with my son, for example. It started to enter in the sites and to see with models and artists to me famosos, says Combed.
Everything because of a trick of friends. Quando I April the image and saw me in the photo, all, and had seven in the room, had given laugh exactly tempo, I say it I Fizeram an association in one of the sites, as I being anti-Cristo.
Today, he receives 60 e-mails per day, already he gave until autograph and he is for estrelar in the InterNet, of truth, a propaganda of a plant of automobiles.
E now nobody holds you...
perhaps Não I know, I hold me. This is my doubt: until where I go to support this história, the trader relieves.

The eyeglasses are different. No way. A Brazilian? Harumph!
To: Fred Mertz
Yea, I thought about that, the WTC picture the lenses are thicker, but that could be that the WTC eyeglasses are "glass" or "polycarb" and the current picture could be newer glasses made with thinner materials (I know because my son wears 'coke bottle' lenses and now has thinner ones, and a set of glasses only lasts a couple of years usually.
Also, that WTC "photo" could be several years old. The nose and mouth seem to be the same shape, but with that wool cap it's hard to guess what the WTC hairline is/was....hmmm

Okay, any Freepers have Face-Recognition software?
To: LibWhacker
Tell ya what, if this guy cashes in (which he should if it's him, why not) they could very well do that to prove or disprove the case!

Also both have similar chins. But the distance from the tip of the nose to the top lip looks all wrong.
To: Howlin
Look at this, LOL.

Also - taking a cue from the face-recognition surveillance cameras - the angle made from the eye to the center of the mouth to the other eye looks different in the two pix.

Bzzzzzzz. Sorry. No match.

That is a tough call. I don't think it's him, though.
To: fone
I think they look alike. The nose and chin certainly match.

I'm not sure. Still, I don't blame the guy for making any type of cash he can off this deal....why not? I still think all the pics the guy has been in is one of the most hillarious things I've ever seen...

Don't you get it? If Tourist Guy turns out to be a real dude, then it takes all the fun out of it. So, this can't be him.
To: Timesink
The nose and chin match, but the lips don't match. Tourist Guy has Stallone-type lips.

Hint to pilots:
If it's taking full power to taxi, you've either landed with the wheels up or upside down.

Difficult for this decision of the true and the false. Personality for me to reproduction of the else for positively.
1. Reproduction the cap of socks
2. Reproduction the coke bottle eyes lashes
3. Reproduction the parka of the heavy industry
in the separation photoreproduction. See then for the positively. It is this challenge?
