I saw that shot in The Sun, the lamest paper in all mainstream circulation. Nice job man, it's a great capture. Photojournalism at it's best!

If a plane crashes on the beach and Nobody was there to see it, did it make a noise??

Can anybody from the UK tell me what Zoo Magazine is? They have asked to run the photo in an upcoming issue. I haven't heard of them before. Thanks.

Well, you gotta take opportunities like this to get some real mileage out of that username. =)

Seriously, though - awesome work! Congrats!

I'm surprised to see so many news agencies scrambling to cover a story that nobody has an interet in.

I noticed that as well

They picked up 2 in a sequence of four. One for the plane, the 2nd for the reaction of the lady in the chair.

Wow -- that's fantastic! Good for you -- seems like the kind of thing I'd be there to witness, and then realize that my camera was in the car or something.
