飓风桑迪重创美国 网络流传自由女神像被淹照(图)

“自由女神像遭巨浪拍打照”网络疯传
据雅虎新闻10月29日报道,美国纽约的标志性建筑自由女神像一直是各种灾难片中不可或缺的元素。如今,随着飓风“桑迪”在美国东海岸登陆,一场真实的灾难正在纽约降临,这一刻虚拟世界与真实场景的界限正变得越来越模煳。
根据美国国家飓风中心当地时间29日晚的最新消息,“桑迪”目前已在美国东海岸新泽西州南部登陆,中心持续风速达每小时129公里。飓风“桑迪”已造成美国和加拿大共12人死亡。“桑迪”登陆不久后,数张自由女神像被高达50英尺(约合15.24米)巨浪拍打的画面在Twitter、Facebook等各种社交网站上疯传,不少不明真相的网友纷纷转发这些照片。
而事实上,这些所谓的自由女神像遭巨浪拍打的照片都是PS的,图片取材于灾难电影《后天》中的画面截图,上面PS上了纽约1台的图标,以及“实时摄影:中午12时12分”的字样
