Jim Stone FreelanceRUSH UPDATE: The story below is NOW CONFIRMED 100 PERCENT TRUE.
The blindfold: The man claimed to be blindfolded when he sent the message. When the American military blindfolds someone, it is accomplished by putting a bag over the head that is locked so you can’t get it off. This left the engineers hands free. This would have made it possible for him to pull his Iphone 5 (a fact confirmed by the Exif data) out of his butt as stated, and use the voice command ability of the Iphone to just talk to it to log in and post the message. This explains why he sent a black photo, he could not see what he was sending, he just knew he snapped a photo and sent whatever got taken.
The coordinates: When the coordinates are added to the fact that the photo’s exif data does not match the Google coordinates or any other coordinates for Diego Garcia that are posted online, but is still within the boundaries of Diego Garcia, it proves that no one just pulled those coordinates off the web. It helps confirm that this was not just a hoax because the coordinates are exact to wherever on Diego Garcia the Iphone was when it took the photo.
ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS:
IBM ENGINEER TAKEN FROM HIJACKED FLIGHT 370 GOT A SELFIE OUT TO THE INTERNET.
This image, which appears black was posted as taken in a dark cell by an IBM engineer. The picture is black because the cell was too dark, but a critical piece of information was embedded in the Exif data, the coordinates to Diego Garcia, where the picture was taken. And it’s real, this is NOT a hoax. The coordinates in the picture indicate that the photo was taken within 3 miles of what Google officially gives for Diego Garcia. It is NOT EXACTLY what comes up on Google. It is off a couple miles, so NO ONE GOOGLED THIS, thus helping to confirm it’s authenticity. I don’t know how big the island is, but if it has a runway, that certainly fits.
The picture posted with the following text: “I have been held hostage by unknown military personal after my flight was hijacked (blindfolded). I work for IBM and I have managed to hide my cellphone in my ass during the hijack. I have been separated from the rest of the passengers and I am in a cell. My name is Philip Wood. I think I have been drugged as well and cannot think clearly.”
ASTEROID IMPACT LEVEL UPDATE: SCAMMERS ARE SAYING THERE NEVER WAS A PHILLIP WOOD WORKING FOR IBM. BUT HIS LINKDIN DESTROYS THAT LIE AND CONFIRMS THE STORY:
Image Exif data: THE SMOKING GUN
The Exif is intact. Exif data gets embedded in every image by every camera and includes the circumstances under which the photo was taken. It can be viewed by saving the image to your desktop, and then right clicking it and selecting image properties. Hit the details tab. You can see that the image was taken on March 18 with an Iphone 5, with the ISO at 3200 and a shutter of 1/15. The coordinates are included in the exif data because the Iphone knows where it is, and the coordinates are for Diego Garcia. THE FIRST TIME A BLANK PHOTO SAID IT ALL.
Exif can’t be rewritten with common software, it can only be added to in fields such as image credits with some advanced applications applications. It can be erased as well but NOT CHANGED. Photos with the exif intact will hold up in court. If the Exif is hacked and this is not real, the CIA or a really good hacker did this, which I doubt, I’d say it’s probably real.
Surrounding this story is the fact that the man who managed to get this information to Farganne (forum member Glitch) was harassed and received many threatening voice mails over it, that is another piece of evidence pointing to this as being real. One thing is certain, once it’s posted here on this site the genie is OUT OF THE BOTTLE. I cannot stress how important it is that the GPS coordinates in the photo do not perfectly match what Google says and are not posted anywhere on the web, because it proves that the source of those coordinates did not come from google or Wikipedia, they really did come from the imaging device and it HAD TO be at Diego Garcia when it took the photo.
DEAR U.S. ARMED FORCES: THE GAME IS OVER. RETURN FLIGHT 370 TO MALAYSIA AIRLINES, RETURN THE PEOPLE TO THEIR FAMILIES, AND SEND PHILLIP WOOD HOME. You have been BUSTED!!!
You know, they lost me at the iphone and the ass thing…
That’s exactly why I passed on sending this one in.
Have to be a damn small phone.
or..or this guy regularly shoves things up his…..
well, this could prove to be interesting
My Fellow Patriots:
Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!,…. I’m sure that happened for real !!!
Hmmmmm,… lets see,… I’m betting it went something like this:
Just after the flight is highjacked, either with the pilots help, or by cyber-jacking the FCS (Flight-Control-Systems),….
Accomplice (Acc) – (The plant sitting as a passenger,… then springs into action to assist with the highjacking…)
Acc: Ladies and Gentlemen,… this flight has been highjacked, we ask you to co-operate fully, in which case you will be released safely after we have landed,.. or we will execute you the moment you give us trouble! (They just want the passengers to co-operate, and don’t tell them they are going to be executed anyway…)
Philip Wood (PW): (Thinking to himself) – Damn!,.. we just got highjacked!,.. good thing I brought my extra small iphone!,… I know,.. I’ll shove it up my ass until later on to send a text message,.. rather than RIGHT NOW,… while I have it in my hands!,… Yeah,.. thats the ticket!
Wood’s then spends the next few minutes jamming his iphone up his ass without trying to draw any attention to himself.
Highjacking Accomplice gets to his row –
Acc: Sir,.. please surrender your cell phone, laptop or any other electronic devices….
Woods: (thinking quick) – Gee,.. I packed my phone and laptop into my checked luggage and don’t have them on me.
Acc: (Checks him quick) – Ok,… place your hands in front (Acc zip-ties them),… and I am going to place this bag over your head,.. you will be able to hear and breath fine,… you just won’t be able to see (Acc places bag over his head)
Woods: (Thinking to himself) – Whew!!!,… good thing I jammed that iphone way up my ass……..
Someone from front of plane: He doesn’t have a phone on him!??,… you better check his ass and see if he jammed it up there!!! Hahahahaha,… just kidding,.. I’m sure he didn’t do that!
Several hours later –
Woods: Wow,.. its been awhile now,… I better see if I can pull that iphone out of my ass and send a text,… (grunting quitely….)
– Finally manages to pull the phone out of his ass,.. and its a bit slippery,.. and REALLY smelly,.. but he preseveres,.. and manages a text….
And there you have it people,… a description of the most likely scanerio.
Good thing Woods thought quick!!!!
JD – US Marines – Who knew the average person could fit an iphone clean up their ass?? Guess that Pilates works afterall!
.
.. good thing I brought my extra small iphone!
Forward thinking for sure!
Maybe he just has an extra large hole?
I have software that can modify the exif data. Stating it can’t be rewritten with common software is wrong
Why does that not surprise me.
If you doubt me you can download ‘exif pilot’ for free online.
Don’t doubt it at all.
That’s why it doesn’t surprise me.
Many independent sites have posted blogs claiming the plane landed at Diego Garcia. A hoax story that includes the plane landing at D.G. can effectively brand all rumors of a D.G. landing as disproven nonsense.
That technique was used when a forged government document, citing G.W. Bush’s history of going AWOL in the State Guard was obtained by a news network and published. When it was found to be a fake, all claims included in the document were disregarded, even though they were true according to eye witnesses.
Maybe the picture was taken before retrieving the phone from its secret hiding spot and its actually an image of his collon. Yuck.
p.s. The width of a iPhone 5 is 2.3 inches.
If the story is true, better him than me.
The timing of this story is questionable to me; surfaced just when the CNN non-stop coverage was running out of steam. Who benefits from this story being believed?
Don’t know enough about Jim Stone; need to check out his site.
A couple of questions do come to mind…
Is it possible that Philip Wood meant ‘ass pocket’?!
Sure, you can edit exif data, but can you hide the fact that you did?!
Just wondering out loud, so to speak.
No matter how cynical you are; it’s never enough!
