Not so amazing. Two reasons:

1. Its not particularly remarkable to look at. The goddamn thing has been sitting in full view on Bay 9 for almost 2 weeks. No extra security, no screens. It is maybe 30m from the emergency access gate where the plane spotters gather and take 'up close' pics of aircraft on the ramp. There were four 717's parked alongside each other last night. You would be hard pressed to pick which one was the damaged one unless you walked right up to it.

18 degrees? Fark, some people will believe anything!

2. NJS pilots have their faults and their squabbles, but we still have an esprit d' corps. We are not into getting our jollies by posting a pic of a mate's mishap, for the enjoyment of the deadheads, hangers-on, voyeurs and vultures that inhabit this forum.
