New news about Ferry Explosion

[lionfish-eater]

Here is the latest news report.

Sorry, Christi, I don't want to start an arguement, but you need to question the validity of your "very credible" source.

There were three explosive devices. The one that exploded, the one found floating by Dave's Captain, and the one attached to the hull of the empty ferry anchored outside of the harbor master's building. All three were real. None were decoys.

I wonder if photos are considered a "reliable source"?

Not if you know about Photoshop and other much more effective photo and video editing software. Hell, there’s video editing software out there fast enough to completely modify so-called “live feeds”, completely replacing one participant in an event with another within the few microseconds it takes to process the video feed. With the right software and data and a hookup to a bank’s security cameras, I (well, not me, personally, but someone experienced and adept at using the software) could alter the live feed of a bank robbery in progress to create video of Donald Trump robbing the bank. Give the video guy an hour or so, and the video could show Trump molesting each of the bank tellers during the course of the robbery.

So does that make the photo reliable or not?

PMJI but you definitely don't need to modify the video for that

Photos and videos can be faked but it takes the effort to a whole other level than making up something in print. Virtually everyone who tells you how easy it is has never actually done it themselves, it's always someone else who could do it. And expert analysis usually identifies them as fake.

So while I don't take a photo as absolute gospel, I will consider it with a much higher credibility than words.

On the subject of Photos. Here you go. Sorry internet is so very slow in Cozumel today. Maybe later or see bag drag thread

From the days of dialup modems: A picture may be worth a thousand words but a thousand words downloads a lot faster.
