World Trade Center Ad.

[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..

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.

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.)

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?
