Hm. Is it altered? My guess would be no, because that's my default; it's tricky to do and get away with. It happens, but rarely. And I don't see a reason for it here. But I also don't know the story, at all, past these pictures I just saw you uploaded. (off-topic but close enough IMO and I want to encourage contribution) I don't know if there were perhaps two busses, or two blasts, one after some news photos were already taken. That seems unlikely. The one is too far panned in to get much details to be sure if these are even the same bus. The red logo and side-view mirror seem consistent. But the windscreen wipers are in different positions. Recycled photo of a previous incident is possible for whichever of these is less consistent with verifiable images of the new incident. --Caustic Logic (talk) 03:00, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

It appears they may be photos of two different Tel-Aviv bus bombs. The twin cracked windshield one was almost top posting in my search for images of the most recent one, but it appears it may be a year old. My interest, by the way, is I think the most recent blast is being spun by Israeli press as more damaged than it actually is. All but one of the damaged windows appear to have been damaged inwards rather than blown outwards indicating the Bomb squad smashed them in to check the bus. The press reports say they were blown out.

I realise it's off-topic, but you guys love conspiracies out of that area. --Charles Wood (talk) 05:10, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
