1979 PIA "New York 16 h 30" WTC Twin Towers plane crashing press ad

by: Dabitch, Jan 10 2008 - 2:31pm

I don't really know what to say about this PIA press ad from a bygone era... Except, remember when you could do bold graphic image solutions in advertising without offending anyone? Yeah, neither can I. Here's a dramatic black and white press ad for PIA - Pakistani Airlines - advertising that they fly to New York.

Honestly, why hasn't this been all over the web a million times already? Oh, it has, and I missed it? Sorry. Still worth a second look. Ktxbye.

...Is that French? Wow, this just gets weirder doesn't it?
