What's up with this guy? Walking away from the blast instead of rubbernecking over the rail like one would expect?

[keats5]

Does he have a backpack? I can’t tell.

We’re so far ahead of you. There’s an old thread with about 200 comments already.

Your pic won't load for me, is this the same one as this?

[Sacajaweau]

Jim Robinson pinged a whole bunch of regulars with the photo.

[BushCountry]

Blowup.

[Sir Napsalot]

Is there a link to the HuffPo comment section?

[Lorianne]

Do you have the link?

The texture of the brick near his head is different than the texture of the brick farther from his head, and the texture has a sharp demarcation. Also, the gray hoodie on his neck has a poorly done straight edge at its lower border. The texture of his dark jacket also has a sharp demarcation in contrast near the gray hoodie on his chest. The head and gray hoodie were added in.

No question in my mind it’s fake.

He could be smiling, being unaware of the gravity of the situation.

Whenever I’m told to move along, I usually think, What’s the big deal? Too many false alarms.

Looks photoshopped to me too.

[Lorianne]

Yes

...or drunk.

Lord and Taylor is the structure with a teal exterior, across the street, near the yellow traffic lights.

Congratulations on your big win!

Photo shopped???

Where did they get the insert image? Look at every photo of white hat. Nothing even comes close to that angle or appearance or resolution. Let’s keep our oars in the water.

Using IRFANView

change to sepia

use edge detection

look to the right of his hat, when I zoomed in using the software, there is a vertical break in the image, no where else does it show, someone else try this, it may not display here

[Enterprise]

I have been thinking along those lines too.

[RaceBannon]

brighter version, you can see the vertical edge of the pixels, almost as if someone made a box to paste the head into

See the yellow cross hatch vertical edge on the right?

It shows better on the software, not in the screen capture or saved file until i brightened it up
