3. I've heard it was photoshopped.

But for the life of me I can't figure out how.

Though the pilot who landed the US plane in China back in 2001 after the nose had been shorn off must have been pretty amazing, too.

I hate it when something like that is fake.

9. Thanks for saying something about it being fake.

It would have been an amazing feat.

I hate it when people try to pass stuff off as real. :grr:
