Duped newscast airs ‘Lost’ scene as Flight 447’s last moments

I’ve seen this on a few blogs and feel that it’s too good to not re-post.

In their rush to air exclusive photos of Flight 447’s destruction, no one in this newsroom stopped to ask the logical questions, such as: 1) How did the camera survive? and 2) Why are the photos in wide-screen format?

The answers, of course, are: 1) Because the footage is from Lost. And, 2) because the footage is from Lost.

The source material (starts at 8:05):

UPDATE: According to a Digg commenter (my high school Spanish wasn’t up to the task), the newscaster explains that the camera was destroyed, but the memory card was somehow recovered. ¡Que suerte!
