Nope. Got the ad right here. It's from the Italian magazine Abitare, Sept 1999 issue.

I'm seriously thinking about posting that on another forum, and finding the contact information for GE in the US and in Italy... They need a serious ass kicking. That's just low class.

GE makes jet engines and all sorts of infrastructure equipment. They obviously wanted to show what they thought was cool (THEN) . . from their POV.

Ok, how long before we see this thing starting to pop up in forwarded emails... with the date photochopped out. I say 2 months at the most.

ok... if this was from '99, AND has been removed since... I'd have no problem with it... It IS very odd that it is an airliner heading directly toward the twin towers, though.

it appears to be taking off over runway lights. Both JFK and Newark have runways point toward lower Manhattan. (though ~8 -10 miles out . .. a bit of artistic license I suppose.)

Isn't the real issue here is who the artist was, and what he might have known two years in advance?
