Those are from Lost. This isn't even the first time someone has claimed those exact pictures were from a real air crash.

Someone pulled a similar stunt after the Columbia accident, too:

There is a (Swedish?) newscast of this where they show the video from Lost thinking that it's from the crash. This was making the rounds a few weeks ago.

bad taste + funny = less funny? i don't think so.

Hmm. I guess it does look a bit hokey.

hahah I was wondering why and how someone stood up and turned around to take those pics. I mean, the back of the plane has come off and people are flying around -- how was the picture taker able to keep his balance?
