Unrealistic depiction of Hurricane Sandy
This picture of Hurricane Sandy was virally shared on Facebook a while ago and worried people worldwide. The hurricane occurred in 2012; it destroyed many homes and killed many people. That’s why no one thought to question the originality of this picture; the majority believed the extent of destruction was this devastating.
However, this picture is exaggerated and does not show real-time footage; this photo came from the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Perhaps someone thought the actual images weren’t showing the details of the hurricane’s destruction well enough and produced this.
