Hoaxapedia from Museum of Hoaxes 's online encyclopedia listed some of the inconsistencies that ultimately confirmed that the photograph was a hoax . These include : The picture became a widely known example of an Internet Meme . As its fame spread , other people started to use the same tourist for other pictures . They included the tourist present at the sinking of the RMS '' Titanic '' , at the John F. Kennedy assassination , the destruction of Air France Flight 4590 and at the Hindenburg disaster . In one version , the aircraft has been replaced with a Melbourne tram . Other pictures show him present at disastrous events in movies , like the destruction of the White House in '' Independence Day '' , Godzilla demolishing Tokyo , or as the bus driver in '' Speed '' . There are also pictures of him together with people from other famous photoshopped pictures , such as Bert or a man holding a huge cat . There even appeared a picture of the Yalta conference where Stalin is replaced by the man with the cat , with the tourist and Bert on the background
