Interesting debate on that page (read the comments after the article) that circle around what time the photo was actually taken.

Let the conspiracy theories commence!

Holy S@#* that second one is cool... I have never seen a stitched photo anywhere near that big. Check out all the white lenses on the opposite media platform. :)

I think they are referring to what appears to be a dock in the river.

Rats, it is a dock...

Just checked on Google Earth.

Oh well. It makes for a nice urban legend. ;)
