When Reuters Photographers Cannot Reach The News Scene..

Last week, Russia planted its national flag made of Titanium on the sea bed under the north pole.

Reuters news agency covered the event and also issued photographs of Russian submarines in the Arctic Ocean that carried the scientists for the flag-planting mission. (see screenshot from Yahoo! News)

But when a 13-year-old boy found this Reuters image similar to those he saw in the blockbuster movie Titanic (starring Kate Winslett and Leonardo DiCaprio), Reuters had to admit that the footage did come from the movie Titanic itself.

This is the second photo-embarrassing moment for the news agency.
