14. The Last Tourist

After the attack on the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, a picture started spreading on the internet of a man dressed for cold weather, standing on the observation deck of the World Trade Center, an airplane flying toward him. This man was called “The Last Tourist”because he was supposedly the last to visit and photograph before the buildings were tragically terrorized. Shortly thereafter, it was exposed that the photograph was fraudulent. The plane is not the same model as the one used in the attacks, and the plane showed was coming from the wrong direction. Also, the observation deck was closed when the attack occurred. 25-year old Peter Guzli eventually came forward and confessed to be the man in the picture, which was taken on November 28, 1997.
