They are great photos
The photos look real, but the story that is with them is not right.
It is not from the Air France flight because there was no survivors of that crash and I think they still don't know where it crashed and why.


The world saw the disappearance of an A330 Air France during a trans Atlantic flight between Rio to Paris .

Two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed. Unbelievable! Photos taken inside the GOL B 737 aircraft that was involved in a mid air collision and crashed.....

A B737 had a mid air collision with the Embraer Legacy while cruising at 35,000 feet over South America . The Embraer Legacy, though seriously damaged with the winglet ripped off, managed to make a! landing at a nearby airstrip in the midst of the Amazon jungle. The crew and passengers of the Embraer Legacy had no idea what they had hit. The B737
however crashed, killing all crew and passengers on board.





The two photos attached were apparently taken by one of the passengers in the B737, just after the collision and before the aircraft crashed. The photos were retrieved from the camera's memory stick. You will never get to see photos like this. In the first photo, there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see the tailplane and vertical fin of the aircraft. In the second photo, one of the passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole.


I would like to know if these photos are real and if so, what is the true story

Immigrants have always been subjected to racism and have been given the stereotype that they are criminals. These groups in particular are the Irish, Italians, Jews, and Negroes. When police records stated that these minority groups had high numbers of crime the stereotype in a way was backed up. A survey of members in organized crime groups in Chicago, Illinois in 1920 showed that 31 percent of the criminals were of Italian descent, another 20 percent were of Irish parentage, 20 percent were Jewish, and 12 percent were Negro.

None of the people surveyed in the organized crime groups were native whites of native white parents. Some believe that the importation of such ignorant immigrants like the Irish, Italians, and Jews is why our country has so much crime. If we limited the amount of people allowed to immigrate into our country the crime rates would drastically decline. In the 1890s the percentage of foreign-born peoples living in the United States was 29 percent. The bulletins on pauperism and crime in the 1890s showed that out of a total of 45,233 convicts in the penitentiaries in 1980, 15,598 were of foreign birth or parentage.

That was omitting the 14,687 Negroes that were in the penitentiaries. Because of this study we find that 51.5 percent of our population in the 1890s was made up of foreigners. The number of inmates in juvenile reformatories was outstanding in 1890. Out of the 14,846 inmates 3,325 had an unknown ethnicity, 6,333 were of foreign birth and 1,943 were Negroes. Omitting the Negroes, it was figured out that 66 percent of those of known nativity were foreigners.

H.M. Prison Gloucester 1873

The Victorian Treadmill was a pretty reliable method for punishing prisoners. And by prisoners, I'm not just talking about artful dodgers and shadowy rippers; not only were pregnant women forced to experience its vicious dehumanizing aspect, but young children as well.

The Victorian Treadmill was really a sort of giant cylinder more than it was the streamlined exercise machine that tortures the overweight and the anorexic today. The Victorian Treadmill could be as high as six feet and could stretch so wide that almost forty people could be punished at once.

Those people would be separated from each other by vertical partitions, giving them only about two feet of space apiece as they continually stepped on the revolving stairs.

How long do you spend on your treadmill? Thirty minutes? An hour? Two hours? Try eight hours! Many prisoners spent a full day's job on the treadmill, granted a five minute reprieve every quarter of an hour.
