Air Canada 747

I received a photo of an Air Canada 747 with it's aft fuselage disintegrating on what appears to be landing. Any news on this or is it bogus?

Any chance of posting the pic here? Might be interesting, even if it is bogus....!

I saw it too. It appears to be a hybrid of two photos. If you look closely you can see vertical streaking on the "damaged" portion while the undamaged portion is shiny and clean, and there's a slight tone change in the logo lettering as it crosses the break. A good job though. My compliments to the photo editor.

I'm sorry to say but I hope that AC take this guy to court and sue the pants of him!

I believe the disintegrating bit of the fuselage is actually the AF B747 they blew up for test a couple of years ago.
