Pictures of Air France Flight 447 Accident - A hoax, a complete bluff

Have you received the below pasted photographs over the mail by one of your freinds recently? Claiming that these are taken just before Air France Flight 447 crash on June1 2009?

Enjoy. You are bluffed (your freind too). These 2 photographs are taken from the popular TV serial 'LOST'

Origin of the hoax:

The hoax originated in an October 26, 2006 posting (English translation here) by Brazilian blogger Carlos Cardoso. In a later posting (translation here) he admitted to perpetrating the hoax and maintained that he did it to demonstrate that people don't read carefully enough or apply enough skepticism to what they find on the Internet. Cardoso went on to predict that the text and images would circulate widely via email and become "the new scandal of the Internet."

Presumably he is satisfied with the results.

Hoax:

The images above are video captures from the pilot episodes of the ABC television series Lost (note the handcuffs worn by the woman pictured on the left, a character recognizable to viewers of the series as Kate Austen, played by actress Evangeline Lilly). Similar images can be seen in video trailers for the series.
