I thort they where the twin towers to xD

[cocaine]

no they're not.

yeah.. they are lol :S?

[Mathew]

Yes they look like the Twin Towers, however it looks like the Chrysler Building in the background. The picture has been edited nontheless.

Strange to see that, even though it's just an advertisement for an airline.

[Kardan]

They are the twin towers. And it's a mere coincidence that's all :)

[Homosexual]

they're not the twin towers!!

[AlexOC]

They are the twin towers.

//throws cake

go fetch

they're not

[AlexOC]

LOL

they are.

[Mario]

they are but its been edited so its an easy mistake to make to think they're not.

[Technologic]

//throws cake

go fetch

they're not

What are they then?!

[kk.]

they are the more than likely the towers. Its talking about america.

Anyway, its more than likely also that it is a fake. Just photoshop a plane onto an existing picture, not hard..

There's two of them and it says New York at the top of the picture :)

[RedStratocas]

they're not the twin towers!!

well like, if they arent the twin towers what are they?

[AlexOC]

of course the image is photoshopped.

[PaintYourTarget]

There's two of them and it says New York at the top of the picture :)
I know, I'm all for them being the trade centers and realise it's a fake image used to sell a product and has nothing to do with the attacks. Just providing a humourous answer to the people asking what it could be if it wasn't the trade centers.

[kk.]

Actually, i had a look to see if i could find it and it is not photoshopped, only, its a very old article.


1979 Pakistan Airlines WTC Ad
Status: Real
Alex from Colombia sent me this picture. He writes:
This is supposed to be a PAKISTAN AIRLINES ad, posted on the newspaper LE POINT on March 19, 1979. It announced nonstop voyages from Pakistan to New York. I saw it on this page. Interesting coincidence.
This image has been circulating widely around the internet during the past week. For instance, it appeared on Digg four days ago. The question is, is the image really an ad from 1979? Following the link chain back, you soon arrive at 11sep.info, where they have a larger scan (see below) of the entire page of the March 19, 1979 edition of Le Point in which the ad is said to have appeared. The scan looks legitimate, and I see no reason to doubt that it's real. But I also don't think the image is surprising or meaningful in any conspiracy-theory kind of way. Images of the World Trade Center appeared in many ads, and were a common symbol of New York. So it's not surprising that an airline combined an image of them with airplane imagery.


Update: The advertisement is definitely real. This has been verified by a reference librarian at UCLA's Charles E. Young Research Library (which, apparently, is the only library in America that has back copies of Le Point). The advertisement appeared on p.143 of the March 19, 1979 issue, #339. The ad also ran in other issues, such as April 2, 1979, p.163. (Thanks to J Fontane for tracking down and verifying the authenticity of the ad.)

[wolfsburg]

they are really similar to the twin towers. i mean, for a start there's two of them, and they have the same design. as mentioned they have the empire state in the background.

fair do's if they're not the twin towers, but generally when you're debating you have to provide more information then "they're not the twin towers" - so wth are they?

uhhh... look up what on wikipedia? lol. do we type in "picture of what looks like the twin towers"? i dont think theres an article on that.

until you actually have proof they arent, im gonna go ahead and say that those are the twin towers since there's way more proof that they are.

[kk.]

they look nothing alike :S the deutsche bank has the logo at the top, not to mention the towers have a different structure from the towers pictured in first post. the ad even says NEW YORK in it so why would they put the deutsche bank in there?

omg are you actually this thick LOL

when you say something isnt something, you have to provide reasonable material to make others realise that what you're saying is true.

that's like me saying 'oh i invented the internets'

the buildings could not be either of those posted because the architecture is completely different? the buildings in the poster have the vertical columns like the WTC and the darker bit at the top and at several sections down the building which are the bits which aren't windows AFAIK.

oh and we're acting as this is some sort of coincidence to the terror attacks but it was in the 70's or whatever, although if you're wanting to be specific there was a smaller scale terrorist attack in the early 90's.
