Spooky Magazine Advertisement

[donn_]

This ad for Pakistan International Airlines appeared in a French magazine in 1979:

What ad? Need link.

I posted the image of the ad. Isn't it showing up?

No it didn't show up.

Secondly, if that is a real advertisement that means the advertisers know that the majority of the people will be happy with the image. Very, very bad.

I don't want to say any more for fear of this thread being closed.

Do you have a direct link? I want to check it out.

The image shows up for me, even after flushing my cache.

The ad was published in Le Point, a French weekly news magazine, in 1979.

What the devil are you talking about?

It's all over the internet.

It's in poor taste .... NOW

Interesting coincidence. I think I'd have been better off not clicking on this thread though. :green:

That is quite a coincidence. I don't see why it would be in bad taste to show a past advertisement in light of what we know happened. The uncovering of this isn't meant to offend only to make us ponder. The towers were symbolic of New York but the airliner shadow and the fact that it was for a Pakistani airline is really an oddity.

Just that it brings back bad memories and makes the blood boil

So does this.
But, we'll still remember.

I doubt now, or 30 years ago, a Pakistani airline could predict 22 years into the future.

Seems I'm sometimes mis-understood .... so I'll decline to reply further .

( I didn't want to be thinking about that when I went to bed that night. Bummed out my night )

But I too - Still remember - with RESPECT to ALL who perished !

Carry on without me .

The ad makes good sense for its time; show an image of a jet outlined on the new buildings that represent international trade and commercial success on a global scale. Also, none of the 9/11 attackers were from Pakistan, there has never been an attack from a Pakistani organization on American soil.

Interesting thread.

Thanks for posting.


Quite a coincidence, eh ?

I can think of a few tactical nukes that need a new home.

You mean dismantled and in safe storage? I totally agree.
