Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Based on a quick look there is many things wrong with this.

  • Southwest is not flying in Europe
  • A Sirrus with a N registration (highly unlikely to make across seas)
  • Midwest is an American company that doesn't fly across seas
  • Jetblue doesn't fly over seas
  • I don't believe United sends a B777 to Hannover
  • Cessna with a N registration.

[–]spader1 15 points16 points ago

And a small Air New Zealand prop plane doesn't make sense in Hannover.

[–]bravo_delta 8 points9 points ago

Damnit I forgot something!

[–]nothing_to_see_there 1 point2 points ago

Maybe it was hijacked? You know, by the same woman that miserably failed in trying to hijack a short distance aircraft to fly to Australia, from Christchurch NZ, a few years ago? She was not smart.

[–]beanswiggin 2 points3 points ago

there is many things wrong with this.

I can think of one thing wrong with it.

[–]stranger_here_myself 1 point2 points ago

Southwest is not flying in Europe

I was thinking that was a long way to go on peanuts alone...

[–]dirtbikr59 0 points1 point ago

And a c172 with an N tail number as well. What are the chances? Also, that sirrus is pretty low, performance takeoff as well...?

[–]goaltender 0 points1 point ago

Also, that ATR is doing a pretty extreme climbing turn.

[–]avioneta 0 points1 point ago

Nah - tons of N registered GA planes in Europe - particularly Germany. The airlines; you're right.

It's a fake picture though - I enjoy it.

[–]avgas 0 points1 point ago

The Lufthansa Regional CRJ on the right hand side also seems to on landing roll as the thrust reversers are deployed.

[–]Dub124 -1 points0 points ago

And the Instagram-ing also made this worse.

[–]thegreatgazoo -2 points-1 points ago

It could have been Hanover. But I don't think their airport gets that much traffic in a month.

[–]feralfaucet 13 points14 points ago

not a multiple exposure

[–]General_Specific 35 points36 points ago

Repost and fake

[–]bloxie[S] -1 points0 points ago

gah, I did do a few searches on here before posting it which turned up nothing.

It was made by an artist and isn't a multiple frame shot.

Found this explaining it: http://boardingarea.com/blogs/flyingwithfish/2012/02/17/debunking-striking-multiple-exposure-shot-of-takeoffs-at-hannover-airport/

[–]FelixR1991 0 points1 point ago

Here you go.

edit: Coincidence?

[–]SkySilver 0 points1 point ago

I'm politely pointing you to this.

[–]dsbilling -1 points0 points ago

Proof?

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

Proof.

[–]General_Specific 1 point2 points ago

Look up the original post. Those who understand these things better proved it was shopped. I was disappointed.

[–]GrandMoffJed 1 point2 points ago

Those air traffic controllers are seriously talented.

[–]Higgs__Boson 1 point2 points ago

Thomson holidays stuck on the ground, delayed as usual.

[–]Scorcherkill 1 point2 points ago

Someone photoshop a forever alone face on the one plane on the ground facing the other way

[–]monkeywithamandolin 1 point2 points ago

yes i've seen this on here before but that doesn't mean no one else has. commenting things like "REPOST DUMBASS!" adds nothing but white noise to this post.

[–]facecube 0 points1 point ago

As soon as I saw the Southwest plane I knew something was off.

The North America registered Cessna is incredibly unlikely too.

[–]Lazerus42 0 points1 point ago

They are all way to close to each other. The FAA should take a look at this.

[–]PolarX 0 points1 point ago

It would have been a lot cooler if you would have just said that they had a gigantic commercial plane flotilla.

[–]CaptainCactus 0 points1 point ago

there's even a nwa dc-9 in the right background.

[–]StoneDeaf 0 points1 point ago

Hungover in Hannover

[–]Alvleeskliersap 0 points1 point ago

that's a nice flock of birds!

[–]Caxe 0 points1 point ago

Isnt this a toy?

[–]GldRush98 0 points1 point ago

That's not a multiple exposure shot by any stretch of the imagination. That is the work of photoshop.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

It's clearly just a bunch of copy paste.

[–]Aviator68 0 points1 point ago

What kills me is that it is a repost, has been debunked, AND IT GOT OVER 500 UPBEATS. I am going to post reposts from now on.

[–]0_- 0 points1 point ago

This is EXTREMELY dangerous, what were they thinking?

[–]xeonrage -1 points0 points ago

Oh.. this again

[–]K1RBYBURNS -2 points-1 points ago

DUDE. Those planes are going to crash into one another!!!1!

[–]jij -2 points-1 points ago

This pic is as old the internet.

[–]DevinLuppy -1 points0 points ago

First of all, this is a repost from a few months ago and second, it was proven to be fake.
