Friday challenge answer:
The Airplane crossing image is real. It shows Gibraltar Airport , where the runway insurrects with a road. The other two images have been manipulated. –
– The airplane that was Oscar Meyer wiener jet actually looks like this. Read the story of this fakery on the Museum of Hoaxes site.
– The crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine looks very different. See this fake debunked at http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/fauxphotos/, a very useful site documenting hoax photos and viral videos.
