    Thank you for the link. Can you give us a little information as to why we should trust BlackDotResearch out of Singapore?

    Just to follow up on what /u/JasonCarswell said, when I saw the image I immediately thought it was fake. It would not make sense that there was no outcry when it was first posted, or that (assuming they did have some agenda) they would make such an obvious gaffe. I tried finding the tweet myself, but I do not have a twitter account. I was able to scroll back to some pretty old tweets, but not as far as May 3rd. I found that link while doing research on it, and have no reason to trust them or the image.

    I would note that there is also no record of the tweet in the internet archive or wayback machine, and you can still use the links provided from BlackDotResearch, which means I can verify what they have put, while I still cannot verify the original image.

    I cannot.

    Two nights ago I saw this image on Facebook and posted the same OP image. Yesterday morning I deleted it and reposted it again for more attention with a better position because it only had 1 vote plus mine and I thought it too important - and only then upon my second posting did I actually wonder if it's a good hoax. Then I saw this post with a slightly higher resolution and more attention (votes and comments) and felt my post was redundant so I deleted my second post too.

    Then I discovered in my messages that /u/StrategicTactic had simply posted that link under that second deleted post, yet oddly not here, so I shared it here as well.

    I leave it up to people to determine what is what, given whatever evidence we can scrounge together.
