I got an e-mail from somone in brazil with supposedly pictures taken from inside the GOL 737 shortly after the accident, right after the tail ripped off... I was wondering if anyone has seen them and could tell me if they are authentic... I won't post them in case they are actually real for respect for the dead and the families....
If they are.. it's pretty chilling stuff.
Here's the text of the e-mail
