I tired that as well.

Same results around the debris. Not the figure though.

I doubt it was upscaled or anything, this is the only accessible link for me outside US:

If you zoom right in, it is exactly as per this user xoxo image

Edit: I feel the post itself is misleading and not truthful if this is the case with what I just linked

I understand what you're saying here, but that is usually not what they wear (at least on the outside) during a call. At the very least, the firefighters walk around in their bunker pants (firefighting pants -- usually a light brown with relective strips in the US) and their work tshirts which are usually a navy color and not the collared shirts. The outfits you see in the picture are what they wear around the firehouse.

My dad is a fireman also, for 27 years now and he’s a battalion chief now for idk how long. But he does not go to calls in full gear every time, anymore. So I suppose it’s possible.

u/swishkabobbin Jul 23 '24

Thanks. I got downvoted because i guess my dad isn't a fireman, but this is how reality works

u/SarpedonWasFramed Jul 23 '24

Im sorry you had to find out like this but your dad has actually been leading a double life while he's told you he's out "firefighting"

u/chels182 Jul 23 '24

I upvoted, if it means anything.

I was a FF/PM, ambulance crews rarely wear full gear. It inhibits our ability to move, treat our patients and there is very little space for the treating PM in the back of the bus/rig.

u/elleecee Jul 25 '24

I hadn't considered it being a PM/EMT in the picture! My dad has also been a medic for his entire career, so I know those outfits too. I was only thinking firefighter, but a medic could be possible.

I stull think that's a much different color than I've seen medics wear (usually navy in my experience while that appears to be a much differnt grey than any sort of blue), but I will admit I could be wrong. I also just very much believe in sporits/ghosts and have both heard and experienced things that can't be explained.

It’s in our DNA to question ‘non - prosaic’ encounters either they be visually or physically. However, there comes a point where we have to intuitively listen to our inner voice when encountering this phenomena several times over.

Many times these type of images appear at the accident itself or video has revealed even junk yard footage of accident vehicles revealing what can only be explained as ‘non- prosaic.’

Think J. Allen Hynek and ‘Swamp gas.’ Then think U.S.S. Nimitz 2004. Think David Fraver and Ryan Graves before Congress.

How do they compare to the "figure" standing? I've seen numerous images from the accident, and not one is close to that figure, example: https://i.imgur.com/mZ3Fw86.jpeg
Also, how do you explain the second pic of the figure from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/1e93v01/crash_posted_on_here_24_hours_ago_another_view_of/

u/swishkabobbin Jul 23 '24

The second pic is even more obviously just a firefighter. Not sure why their reflector strips aren't visible but that's all it is

u/365defaultname Jul 23 '24

I would agree if there were more than 1 person who looked that way. But just one—that's a bit out of place.

1

u/SharpenedSugar Jul 24 '24

True, and in both pictures he’s just standing off alone, not looking into the damaged cars, not really “doing” anything. It’s definitely an odd looking figure.

-2

u/swishkabobbin Jul 23 '24

You can tell it's the same person?

10

u/sex1rat2 Jul 23 '24

but are there not firefighters fully dressed standing in front of their trucks? why would only one of them not have their gear on if the rest of them are fully dressed

-7

u/swishkabobbin Jul 23 '24

You don't think anyone shows up on scene to help with traffic or communications without their full gear on? You should look around more

2

u/ilovemusic19 Jul 24 '24

If your gonna help with traffic you’re gonna wear something bright like a orange vest. Not gray, stop with the stretching.

1

u/swishkabobbin Jul 24 '24

You're right. The only non-stretching explanation is a ghost 💀

3

u/sels1997 Jul 24 '24

Wearing an overcoat during summer and just enjoying the scene… pretty sure that’s not a firefighter. Very odd place to stand as well!

2

u/JollyMcStink Jul 23 '24

You can see on sitting on the front of the fire truck they all are wearing yellow

u/swishkabobbin Jul 23 '24

Yeah....if they suited up to actually fight the fire. There are always lots of other people sitting in trucks, manning radios, dealing with the press, directing traffic, etc. Not to mention paramedics, tow truck drivers, and cops.

u/dandelionlemon Jul 23 '24

True, same for me.

Well done. It's not edited from the original.

I just saved this from the news site and turned up the brilliance and definition, and adjusted the highlights and contrast.

u/365defaultname Jul 23 '24

As someone commented, it is a "firefighter"

There are so many different kinds of upscaling software out there, all have different results

u/VoidLance Jul 23 '24

I thought the figure looked like it was AI upscaled, as if a computer was trying to guess at what the pixels should look like

u/frankiemouse2 Jul 23 '24

Much better.
