Lightning Flashes

**Wyoming T/A** · 06-24-2009, 09:59 AM

n the lightning flashes, this is NOT what you want to see.

THIS IS A PICTURE THAT SOMEONE TOOK WHO WORKS ON AN OIL RIG.

HE WAS GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE LIGHTNING AND WAS

UNAWARE OF THE TORNADO UNTIL THE LIGHTNING ILLUMINATED IT.

This is a one-in-a-million photo................

Do you believe everything you get in an email?

^ fuckin word.....

Thats the biggest crock of shit, That pic has been around the Oil Field since photoshop was invented..... WAY BEFORE 2008....

And, if that was my hand who took the pic, I'd have fired him for fuckin around with the damn camera instead of workin.

Do you know how much of an Asshat you look like by jumping on and posting complete bullshit like its stone cold fact, and not verifying your sources first?

The problem is the messenger should stop forwarding messages without verifying authenticity. You forwarding something like this is no different than you authoring it originally. Crap like this would stop if people would stop forwarding every damn thing they get in an email.

Well it is sorta true, the tornado with the lightning is right but the oil rig was photoshopped in.

I go the complete opposite direction. I don't believe anything I see on the web. I wish I had a dollar for every email that got fwd to me by a buddy and they bought it hook line and sinker. I never believe any of that stuff and 99% of the time it's fake. Here's one my brother sent me a couple years ago. He bought into to 100%.....I didn't.

**bandit95** · 06-24-2009, 06:14 PM

i gotta agree. the guy isn't an asshat for trying to pass something along. so he got an email and thought it was true and wanted to share? people come down on him and tell him to check his sources like he has to google every single thing he gets?! thats just stupid. if it's not true, then say nice try but it's a fake. sorry ya got duped. most of the people who see it will think it's real unless told otherwise. give him a break for trying to bring up some conversation on here instead of making him feel like an idiot for it.

**0rion** · 06-24-2009, 06:15 PM

ps
the oil rig shot is fake.

If the picture didn't convince someone then the story should. No way you're that close to a tornado and don't know it's there.......unless you're deaf. Those bastards are LOUD.
