# yep, was up here earlier
Interestingly the BBC originally had a photo that showed just one missile launching.

There is video footage of 4 missiles launching, so if this is a shop its just a simplified visual representation, because the video doesn't work so well on newspaper

# I think in the video three out of four missiles launch and one gets stuck.

# way more controversial than that, this one has been all over online news agencies all day, and it's credited as an AFP photo.
which meeeeeeans that someone is gonna get their asss kicked cos any news photos featuring even the slightest bit of doctoring (even changin the contrast beyond a certain level) are deemed unnewsworthy and the person who contributed it will be struck off as a news photographer forever, just like that reuters blokey.
