I find it very disturbing that at a time like this, where people are worried andĀ overwhelmedĀ by the event that took place, there are fake photographs circling the media. This caused people to become mislead about what is really going on. I was one of those people until i seen the video on ABC News. It is really upsetting that people would take time to do that during and right after the hurricane where families areĀ coping with losses of family, friends, andĀ possessions. Maybe, it would have been funny if it was done after everything has been cleared up and back to normal.
I thought the photograph with the person diving in the flooded train station was real. It had me thinking the storm was way worse than what the news was portraying it to be. I was worried that my area was next to be flooded. There were some photographs that were obviously fake such as the empire state building beingĀ engulfed by a huge wave. I knew it looked familiar because i seen The Day After Tomorrow a dozen times. Also the photographs with the sharks. It made no sense at all that we had sharks swimming around the suburbs.
