    Bolivian news report mistakes Air France 447 for Oceanic 815

    This is great



    Bolivian TV channel PAT has been left looking a bit daft after broadcasting extraordinary images of the last moments of Air France flight 447, lost over the Atlantic on 1 June:

    According to the report, the snaps were retrieved from a recovered Casio Z750, which was subsequently traced via the serial number to its owner - "Paulo G. Muller, an actor from a well-known children's theatre on the outskirts of Porto Alegre".

    In fact, the camera can be traced to ABC Studios and sharp-eyed readers will notice that the photographs feature well-known actress Evangeline Lilly, aka Kate Austen from TV series Lost.

    PAT has fallen hook, line and sinker for a hoax email, and to add to its embarrassment, has failed to appreciate that while the flight 447 disaster occurred at night, the images represent the daytime fictional break-up of Oceanic Flight 815

    If you want to see the scene from Lost in motion (if you're unfamiliar with the show) fast forward to 8:05 on this video:

    Wow. I am absolutely loving this.

    Next time on Bolivian News: A single man stops a terrorist plot that would have destroyed the American city Los Angeles. The American government organization CTU and one of its rogue agents Jack Bauer....

    Umm...wow.

    Needless to say, I assume this channel doesn't air Lost?
