I wonder whose fault is it.
October 15th, 2007 at 9:27 pm
is it just me or does this look like someone having fun in photoshop?
October 16th, 2007 at 6:41 am
Is it just me, or is there always some fuckwit who thinks everything’s been done in Photoshop?

this is a fake. just look at the pixels surrounding the cable and the crane.
fake picture is fake

It really doesn’t look photoshopped (THE PIXELZ). Which is why it’s deeply troubling.

Yeah, this actually happened. Why don’t you read a book or something? Maybe that’s just me being harsh. I’m a building science major, and I have studied all about this little mishap.

This compelling sequence of photographs shows the sudden and rapid flooding of a large construction site. The images are genuine and record an accident that occurred at the site of the Infinity Tower project in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in February 2007. Waters from the adjacent Dubai Marina inundated the site after a holding wall gave way.
A February 8th article in the Gulf News notes:
Nearly 100 workers at the site of the ‘tallest building with a twist’ had a lucky escape yesterday as a wall holding back the Dubai Marina waters breached and flooded the foundation site.
Excavation work on the 80-floor Infinity Tower was nearing completion when there was a sharp and loud sound, said a worker.
“We then saw sand pouring down the sides,” he said.
The workers were ordered to evacuate immediately, said the foreman.
The photographs have circulated around the world via email and have also been posted to a number of blogs and online forums.
It is unclear how long the project will be delayed because of the mishap but its status is currently classified as “on hold”. More photographs taken after the accident can be viewed on the Dubai News Online website.

This is Totally real, Its a shame that amazing advancement in graphics technology has made people unable to tell the difference between fake and reality
lol, nice pics

This has obviously been photoshopped. I can tell from some of the pixels, and from having seen quite a few p’shops in my time. Don’t listen to these others, I have been on the internet for more than ten years.
October 19th, 2007 at 11:54 pm
It’s not technology that is to blame, it’s people being idiots. Almost every time I see someone saying something is fake, it’s about something that is in fact real - “look at the pixels omg, fake!” - it’s called compression!
You should spend more time with your ‘discerning, critical eye’ examining something that matters, like the news you read, or the nutritional information on the box of the food you eat and leave detecting frauds and fakes to people who know what they’re talking about.
Dubai’s Infinity Tower, fyi, read some international news once in a while.

go get em Krumm.

It’s so easy checking things out, why don’t you do that before claiming it’s fake?

With the people on the internet, lots of them won’t be able to tell the difference between a real photograph and a picture drawn by a 2 year old on MS paint…

When will people catch on that images need to be posted in a lossless image format (like png)? Images in jpg/gif format are often grainy — and should have stopped being posted in the 90’s.
October 22nd, 2007 at 7:37 am
Good point, Aaron. Those things mentioned around the crane are called “JPEG Artifacts.” They are the trade off for small image sizes. Certainly better file formats have been invented which will allow for less of these distortions. However, JPEG is still the standard, as lossless file formats still have comparatively large file sizes, and would make the internet difficult to navigate for those who do not have broadband connections.

It’s real, i live over here….

You people should be looking so closely at the collapse of the WTC.
October 23rd, 2007 at 4:26 pm
You have to get a kick out of: anonymous coward @ October 19th, 2007, it seems this guy is a expert in photoshop and he’s certain of this because he’s been on the internet for ten years….hmmm you’d think if he’s been on the internet for ten years that he’d be a pro at searching out if this is fake or an actual event. I guess he hasn’t left his computer in ten years! Get a life! It’s real…. Learn how to use the internet and check the links! MAN!
I myself find the pictures very interesting and a perfect “Kodak Moment”
Good Day!

@jinMO
Anonymous coward was being ironic. He’s just parodying the many folks with a false sense of superiority in “internets.” He’s probably a 4chan-er. Any more stupid questions?
October 25th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
Hehe .. great pics, but the comments are more interesting. To be photoshopped or not… that is the question. Bah!
October 26th, 2007 at 2:15 am
Now that is what I call a funny accident…
October 27th, 2007 at 6:11 am
no doubt it’s an interesting photo set
luckily it looks like nobody was injured during the flood
October 29th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
Wow, this sure says a lot about photoshop. Really.

FFS this actually happened, it was on the news and in the newspapers. Why don’t all the morons who insist it’s been photo shopped go and get a clue.
November 7th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
…I don’t think Anonymous Coward was being ironic or to any effect… And who’s asking stupid questions? Certainly not me. Besides is this guy the CSI of pixel inspections? Hmmm?
November 26th, 2007 at 2:41 pm
Wow, I’d hate to be the guy in the pit when the water rushed in.
December 5th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
Oh yeah thats photoshoppd for shure you can tell by lookign at the water. Freakin idiot man! you can tell no problem
December 6th, 2007 at 11:07 am
That is crazy. I thought Dubai was desert.
January 5th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
wow
January 5th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Hey berg look for dubai on a map.
January 5th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
As for the rest of you who insist its a photoshop, maybe you should pull your head out of the American media A** and read some international news, and no i don’t mean politically bought news like NPR, try some real hardcore reporting. OR, better yet use your own brain and think, its not illegal yet. - -pro totus vicis nos sino nostrum erroris

Look, I can tell this is photoshopped. All of you people who are posting links to “blogs” and “snopes”, check your sources. I’ve been in graphic media design for almost a decade and a half now, and while this is certainly a professional job, it’s pretty easy to tell it’s fake once you begin looking for the telltale signs.
November 2nd, 2009 at 6:12 pm
They should just leave it and make it look better
November 12th, 2009 at 11:43 am
cant believe all the trolls that have been shopped into this article, and the other trolls pretending to be angry about the shops, in fact my monitor is shopped too, so is my food.
November 13th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Trolls still get people every day with the photoshop meme lol. They dont think its shopped they just say it to get a reaction, and boy do they get a reaction
November 13th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
ouch.
that’s gonna hurt a lot.
November 17th, 2009 at 3:00 am
This is interesting.
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:40 am
Okay. Is it just me?Or what?No one left a comment about what I thought was obvious.
I was most certain that everyone could see what I saw. Or maybe not. I don’t know any more.
I didn’t think that these pics where tampered with or not.
November 22nd, 2009 at 3:37 pm
The people who mention photoshop are the same people that think it’s cool to greet each other by saying whatssup! There are dim wits who heard something funny ten years age and just repeat it over and over.
