Car roofs do not tear off when they hit low objects; leave that for Hollywood. And if they did manage to anyway, they wouldn't leave straight edges on the vehicle's undistorted pillars. If the original image could be examined, it might show that it's the image that's a fake, rather than go through the hassles of deroofing a bus and hanging a piece of metal from a plane's wing. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut ‚ Opinions stated are mine, not of the University of Otago "There is water at the bottom of the ocean" - Talking Heads |
