good morning!!<br>^BC-Attacks-Smoke Photo,0340<<br>^Readers inquire about AP photo of fire in World Trade Center tower<<br>^AP Photo NY142<<br>^By RACHEL ZOLL=<br>^Associated Press Writer=<br>¶   NEW YORK (AP) _ Several newspapers that printed an Associated Press<br>photo of fire consuming a World Trade Center tower received calls from<br>readers Wednesday saying they saw a strange shape in the smoke.<br>¶   Some readers said they could identify eyes, a nose, a mouth and<br>horns in the black and gray clouds _ and they wondered if the photo had<br>been manipulated to include a satanic face. ¶   Vin Alabiso, an AP vice president and the executive photo editor,<br>said the photo was untouched. Readers were reacting to natural<br>indentations in the smoke clouds, he said Wednesday. ¶   "AP has a very strict written policy which prohibits the alteration<br>of the content of a photo in any way," he said. "The smoke in this photo<br>combined with light and shadow has created an image which readers have<br>seen in different ways."<br>¶   I.J. Kranats, president of the International Association of Arson<br>investigators based in Bridgeton, Mo., said it was not unusual for<br>people to see unusual images in smoke clouds. ¶   As a fire generates heat, it draws in cold air, while unburned<br>debris swirls through the smoke, causing the clouds to look thinner in<br>some areas and thicker in others, he said. The natural wind currents can<br>contribute to the effect, he said.<br>¶   The Saginaw (Mich.) News received about 50 calls Wednesday after<br>enlarging the photo to cover almost half the front page in Tuesday's<br>editions, reporter Bryce Hoffman said.<br>¶   "A lot of them asked if we doctored the photo," Hoffman said. "Some<br>asked if we superimposed a human face on it. We've had some people ask<br>if it was God. We've had some people ask if it was Satan. We've had<br>requests for reprints."<br>¶   Bill Decker, metro editor for The Daily Advertiser of Lafayette,<br>La., ran the photo across nearly half of an inside page in one of its<br>special editions Tuesday and received about 20 calls from readers by<br>Wednesday.<br><br>Return-Path: <littlenemo1@yahoo.com><br>Received: from rly-xa02.mx.aol.com (rly-xa02.mail.aol.com [172.20.105.71]) by air-xa02.mail.aol.com (v80.17) with ESMTP id MAILINXA23-0913094600; Thu, 13 Sep 2001 09:46:00 -0400 Received: from web14001.mail.yahoo.com (web14001.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.175.92]) by rly-xa02.mx.aol.com (v80.21) with ESMTP id MAILRELAYINXA28-0913094527; Thu, 13 Sep 2001 09:45:27 -0400 Message-ID: <20010913134525.72274.qmail@web14001.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [165.1.4.199] by web14001.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Thu, 13 Sep 2001 06:45:25 PDT Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 06:45:25 -0700 (PDT) From: Christine Tash <littlenemo1@yahoo.com> Subject: the devil made me do it<br>To: kevinkushel@aol.com<br>MIME-Version: 1.0<br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Unknown (No Version)<br><br>good morning!!<br>^BC-Attacks-Smoke Photo,0340<<br>^Readers inquire about AP photo of fire in World Trade Center tower<<br>^AP Photo NY142<<br>^By RACHEL ZOLL=<br>^Associated Press Writer=<br> NEW YORK (AP) _ Several newspapers that printed an Associated Press<br>photo of fire consuming a World Trade Center tower received calls from<br>readers Wednesday saying they saw a strange shape in the smoke.<br> Some readers said they could identify eyes, a nose, a mouth and<br>horns in the black and gray clouds _ and they wondered if the photo had<br>been manipulated to include a satanic face.
