Ubi panis ibi patria

just got a fwd mail from my uncle… i’m not sure if he believes that the person who forwarded it to him was connected to the photographer! but! here they are, this is the first time i’ve seen this, so i wanna share it…

quoted from uncle david’s forward:

>

> The extraordinary photographer, who kept his cool even in the last moments of his own life and took these photos.

>

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

> Two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed.

>  Unbelievable photos taken inside the aircraft that was involved in the crash…..

>

> The two photos attached were apparently taken by one of the passengers in the aircraft, 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.

> These photos were found in a digital Casio Z750, amidst the remains in Serra do Cachimbo. Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory Stick was recovered. Investigating the serial number of the camera, the owner was identified as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for children known in the outskirts of Porto  Alegre . It can be imagined that he was standing during the turbulence, he managed to take these photos, just seconds after the tail loss the aircraft plunged. So the camera was found near the cockpit. The structural stress probably ripped the engines away, diminishing the falling speed, protecting the electronic equipment but not unfortunately the victims. Paulo Muller leaves behind two daughters, Bruna and Beatriz.
