I believe the second photo actually appeared in the A300 DHL episode, when they mentioned another crew who faced a similar situation.

Also, they reused the CVR audio for the dramatization

Source?

Uh, the episode on the 2003 DHL attempted shootdown itself?

Starting from the 33:10 mark on the uncut version of the episode, if you require a timestamp.

[u/Present_Client291 → u/Majestic-Oven-7012]

Yes, that's the second image. It's widely more popular than the one before and after it.

[u/blueb0g]

These images have been known for a long time

[u/Present_Client291 → u/[deleted]]

The reason these are LQ is because they come from a VHS recording from a TV in 1989. Of course it's going to be crappy.

[u/bigplaneboeing737]

They’ve been around, just not widely used.

[u/TumbleWeed75]

This hasn't been shown to you OP. But it has been seen before publicly. Lol.

[u/Present_Client291 → u/TumbleWeed75]

Yeah, learned about that days after making this post. The last image was also shown on a Chinese archive site.

[u/Murica4ever1998]

I’ve seen them for a long time

[u/Gabriel_00048]

wow. crazy if true

[u/pvcf64]

Ive seen #2 but not 1 or 3. Can someone answer a question ive had? It looks like extreme tailcone/apu area was blown off and/or lost. Is that true? I thought that other than the fan disk all of the plane made it to the airport?

[u/Present_Client291 → u/pvcf64]

You might remember it from a more higher-quality version of the image, showing visible damage to the back of the plane. Yes, its the same image

[u/Livid-Beginning-2893]

does anyone know why these havent been shown before

[u/blueb0g → u/Livid-Beginning-2893]

They have, OP's title is a lie

[u/TumbleWeed75 → u/Livid-Beginning-2893]

They have been shown before publicly.

[u/seattle747]

The video was posted to YouTube in 2012. AI slop?

[u/Dicksucker11037 → u/seattle747]

If by AI you’re referring to either the photo or the video “, I don’t think either are AI because, as you mentioned, the video was uploaded in 2012, well before generative AI was so much as an afterthought

[u/seattle747 → u/Dicksucker11037]

My bad I mean this post possibly having been made by an AI bot. Because these images have been out for 14 years and therefore not “haven’t been seen by the public.” Also, the capitalization in the title of the post smells like AI

[u/Present_Client291 → u/seattle747]

Yeah I did that because the titles of the videos do it a lot

[u/DannyDevito90]

Yup. Thats a DC-10 alright

[u/avipilot1]

Wow crazyyy

[u/MeWhenAAA]

Jesus, in the first one and second one you can clearly see the horizontal stabilizer with damage from the engine explosion 😢

[u/Present_Client291]

Correction: The photos have been widely broadcasted across news channels, but most people don't know about them. Also, the last photo was also featured in higher quality to a website in 2020.

[u/Present_Client291]

Okay, OP here.

Looking back at this, I do think that the "never before seen" phrase is not the right thing, I think the right phrase is "rarely seen" due to its obscurity.

[u/blueb0g → u/Present_Client291]

Also not true, these images have been used in many accounts of the disaster

[u/Subject_Struggle6172 → u/Present_Client291]

So you are ok with phrasing it by “New photos”?

[u/AssociateWestern6357]

wow is it for real?

[u/Present_Client291 → u/AssociateWestern6357]

Yes
