Re: Easy Jet

That picture looks kinda fishy. The water doesn't look like it is like that all over, just at the plane.

Re: Easy Jet

EasyJet only flies in Europe. They are based out of the UK.

Winter sucks in the UK, so it wouldn't surprise me if that airplane was parked and the area it was parked in flooded during a rainstorm.

I think the implication is that the jet taxied into the water, and I don't know that's necessarily true. Maybe it is, but you can't assume that by just looking at the shot.

Re: Easy Jet

If you look close, you'll see heat distortion behind the engines, like there running, (with no sign of water ingestion), and there's a yellow stripe reflected on the nose (not water).
I'm calling it "shopped"

Re: Easy Jet

I do see the heat shimmer. Possibly "shopped".

Here's a larger photo to examine:

Check out a Photoshop plug-in by Flaming Pear called Flood. Does this sort of thing and more.
