The Truth is ... Just as Strange as Fiction

In the first piece of entertainment news out of Bolivia since Butch and Sundance were killed, a Bolivian news station broadcast photos of Oceanic 815 breaking up over The Island as the ACTUAL FOOTAGE OF AIR FRANCE 447'S CRASH. 

No, the smoke monster wasn't in the footage, nor was a polar bear running out of the jungle. But there should have been other clues that could have tipped the news crew off:

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? 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
