LOL I still think it looks like a boat, it even looks like there's someone on top of it ( like a tour boat or something ).. BUT ... heck, it might not be! I've been wrong once before!

if you look at the black domed building, in both pictures the amount of recess exposed at the top left corner is exactly the same. if the photographer ran to the left to take the second picture, this would not be the case. also the white pillar in the recess at the top right hand side of the domed building is larger in the zoomed out second shot!
explain why the man in the white shirt and shorts has a huge chunk missing from his head in the 1st picture and how his right hand can possibly contort into the impossible position seen, with the mutant thumb above the fingers.
also explain why the same man in the second picture has his right hand going right through what i assume to be his head, but is more like a dark blob. only a very few second (1 or 2) can have passed between the taking of both shots, judging by the dispersal of the dust. to me, if anything, the photographer ran to the right, based on the perspectives of the buildings, but that would not make sense with respect to the foregrounds. the numerous pixilations are very suspicious and the two pictures do not make sense to me when viewed side by side, strongly indicating fakery.
p.s. it does seem to be a boat on the river and not a yellow trashcan as i mistakenly indicated.

It looks to me that it was taken by the same photographer probably 30-40 seconds apart. The large photo was taken first and then he walked to his left a few yards to change his perspective and took another shot. The man in the foreground with his hand on his head is simply stunned and not moving much. The spire is collapsing naturally.
edit: He's walking to his left to get the emergency vehicle in the foreground.edit on 15-2-2011 by goatfish because: (no reason given)

Seeing as how the WTC was in freefall at this point and would have totally collapsed in around 9 seconds , it would have been impossible for the two pictures to have been taken by the same photographer .
I see nothing fake in either picture .

I also don't see anything fake. You are probably correct that the timing was closer to 9 seconds. But I don't see why that would make it impossible for a single photographer to reposition themselves and take a second photo. It doesn't look like the distance between the two positions is that great.

I've zoomed in using photoshop (vs 11.0.2), that is not his hand or thumb, it's light reflecting off his head, overexposure makes it look brighter. His hand is in front of his head where it can't be seen. Look at his shirt shoulder/sleeve and follow the shine up to the head, it's the same light source. You can't see the building through it.

1) There are ZERO "life points" for finding a conspiracy in everything!
2) Sometimes a photograph is exactly that, just a photograph!
3) Critical thinking and questioning is good, as long as reality is still in arms reach.
3) Imagination is good.....imagination without an ounce of reality is a delusion.

If you learned how to count, maybe we'll take your powers of observation and your propaganda more seriously.

anyone else see it ???

i still see some of the building through the gaping hole in the left side of his head
Artifacts in digital images are unwelcome and unnatural elements or distortions. While they abound in reproductions of all kinds they often go unnoticed, perhaps because we are so used to them. Problems that we perceive in images are often the result of several causes combined, but let's try to look at some of the more prominent ones individually...
and i see his hand in an impossible position.
If you're hung up over a typo, rather than the post itself, then we have larger problems here.
Typos happen, ignorance can be avoided.

Spare me the melodramatic theatrics.

Sounds like something you got from a bumper sticker. When you are promoting ignorance, it's a good idea not to draw attention to your limitations.
