Actually this photo p*sses me off. There are too many accidents and incidents in the aviation world that result in injuries and even death for someone to actually take the time to doctor a perfectly normal photograph.
For the person that doctored this photo-Find a more appropriate use for your extra time. This doctored photograph by you is most insulting both to American Airlines and those who have lost family members in an aviation accident.
Oh how I miss Midway Airlines. A class act right to then end.

The world is full of bozos with too much time on their hands. Feel free to use your energy on irritation, but be aware it won't help.
As for insulting AA and those who have lost family members, I'm pretty sure they can take it. They can't stop and complain every time someone makes a joke or doctors a picture.
Tact Is For People Who Aren't Witty Enough To Be Sarcastic

Starlionblue...
I couldn't have put it better myself!
All I wanna know is....WHY?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All that it proves is that the pathetic d**khead that did this needs to get a life..and fast.
This is almost as bad as the hoax picture of the AA 757 supposedly taken by someone standing on top of the WTC just before impact - The stupid prats couldn't even get that right as it was Boeing 767-200's that hit the WTC.

I said "fake" outloud to myself about 1 second after I saw that picture. Really amateur photo if you ask me.

Hmmm.... flames penetrating the N1 fan and the bypass duct.......
Whoever is responsible for that alteration has obviously never seen a real engine fire, and probably hasn't a clue how a high bypass engine works.

The sad thing is that in all likelyhood, the person who took the time to create this illustration probably did so at work on some company's dime, or worse yet, at a government job, paid for by the tax payers!
Ahhh well.

If you're gonna make a fake picture of an engine fire, first learn about them. Second, there is no reflection of the fire on the fuselage- funny about that. Although most media people would probably believe this, don't insult us - you look like an idiot.

As for my comments above, I do realize the artist was not the one who posted the picture. Didn't want to get into any trouble here.
25 SAS330GOT: Look at it this way. For the person who took time to create this picture they see it as a piece of art, something that they made. The negative comment
26 Aa777jr: Total FAKE! What a shame to take a great picture and ruin it with a fake engine fire. Also wouldn't there be a trail of smoke either black or white? A
27 MD80Nut: A fake picture? Probably got it from Dan Rather and CBS News! cheers, Ralph
28 ATLhomeCMH: Yea, that picture looks fake. It looks like the 777 has an afterburner for crying out loud!
30 Spacecadet: This is controversial but the artist did do a hell of a job on the fire. Are you sure you're not the "artist" here? I don't see how anyone could think
31 Dcrusafon: TOTAL FAKE. Check the engine reflected on the body of the plane...nice try DARIO
32 N314as: Crap like this is not good for our world of photographers....not to mention using Florian's great picture illegally. If we alter something, do a fake
33 Cpt Underpants: Actually 242, I've seen a massive compressor stall shooting flames out the front of a turbofan engine, it is indeed possible in the right circumstance

37 Paulinbna: This kind of thing REALLY makes me mad , because to the non-aviation, non photoshop person which is about 90% of the general public will see this and
