According to the caption: "This unfortunate woman was found dead on parkland in Yorkshire, England. She's believed to have been pierced by a shaft of frozen urine which had fallen from a leak in a toilet facility of an overhead plane."
What do you think? Is the picture real or phony?

Seemed quite obvious to me what happened here. The lady was flying and got up to use the restroom, it was occupied, so she tried another door marked in red letters EMERGENCY......... she had to go really bad, and to her it really was an emergency.
This explains the abrasion to her leg, which happened as her thigh rubbed on the door opening as she fell out of the plane.
................a couple of terrifying minutes later, she was impaled by the spike of frozen urine which had fallen to earth just moments earlier. This explains the angle of the ice and why others mistakenly think this unusual event occurred as she was lying down in the field when it happened.
The urine hadn't melted by the time the photo was taken, because it's ...........like really really cold outside.
Boy, that's a rare one. ........something that's probably never going to happen again in my lifetime.

This is a fake photo. Take a look at the grass around the peecicle and note that is darker than the rest of the grass on both halves of the photo. It has been photoshopped. Or it could be the shadow of her ghost. lol

I say it's fake.

Fake. I find it hard to believe a shaft of urine would strike her in the torso like that unless she was sleeping in that field.
If it was from a plane, it would drive down through her skull.

Fake for sure. Planes use that blue chemical to treat waste, if it was a leak it would be much smaller and more frequent quantities, and would not have driven into the body at that angle.

It's real, no doubt.
My grandfather died this way. That, or the rumors about my grandmother killing him for the insurance money was true after all...

Fake, Fake, Fake!

sounds like a job for mythbusters.

Real, for surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.
That's how people found out about really good javelin throwers who descended from heaven back in the 3rd century BC.

My vote goes with the fake side. Even for a corpse, her face is awfully white!

Fake...no doubt about it
Denzylle May 4th 2007 12:27PM
It certainly looks fake and, besides, if it had really happened, there would have been something in the UK newspapers, and there hasn't been.

Um, that's a screenshot from "The Omen", the original one...
Kim May 4th 2007 9:09PM
I agree that it is FAKE
tinadysonmom May 4th 2007 8:16PM

Think about it--leaking from a plane,the urine would not be frozen into a shaft,but rather,it would have been wind blown.In the coldest weather,throw a cup of water out of a moving car. It AIN'T going to be in a shaft shape.

DANG......I GOTTA PEE!!

Fake--throw a cup of water out of a moving car on a bitter cold day--It AIN'T gonna be in the shape of a shaft.
