The viral photo of the ‘diamond plane’ was just a photoshop work done by a former dentist turned ‘crystal artist’ identified as Sara Shakeel. She regularly edits images to give them a bedazzled new look, posting the results on her Instagram page.
Sharing the photo of the plane on her page, she revealed that the Emirates plane was just another fun project on her list, ahead of a trip to Milan where she was going to be flying with the airline.
She went on to share a close up photo of the plane and poked fun at the attention it was getting, stating that it was ‘real’.

Most sane people in the world would be impressed by an announcement, that you’d invested in a less polluting fuel source.

Can this actually be flown or is this a scale model or a computer generated image.
