This would make an interesting copyright case.
This is typical birthday paradox stuff right? The chance that these two photographers would ever snap the same thing at the same time is small, but the chance that any two photographers, anywhere, would do so is, I bet, pretty big (even if you factor in millisecond precision). With photographers being photographers and the internet being the internet, there's also a pretty decent change that they'd find out about it…
> but the chance that any two photographers, anywhere, would do so is, I bet, pretty big Not necessarily, but the the chance of any crazy coincidence happening and reaching HN homepage is quite big. Next time it might be two people with same name writing the exact same tweet independently. Or perhaps one guy winning the World Series of Poker two times in a row with the same winning hand. When there's a million "kinds…
That’s the funnest thing about this story imo. These kinds of photographers shoots hundreds or thousands of photos in half an hour. It’s wild they were both struck by one particular exposure.

However, upon inspection I realized there were differences. It kind of blew my mind that someone had taken a picture of the same sunrise at the same time, from almost the same spot.
I had the same thing happen with one of my photos of lightning in London. I actually thought my shot had been ripped off at first glance, then realised it was from a different angle.

Not nearly as improbable, but one time I was reading the New York Times and happened upon the top picture in this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/insider/freezing-temperat... Not only did I find that I was (barely) in the picture, but I had a picture of the photographer either before or after he took that picture (not at the same time, obviously, since I was turned the other way at the time of his picture…
I love how completely and dramatically different those two photos of the same place and time are. The reporter was telling a story of somewhere remote and hard to get to and barely touched by humans. One single sturdy but old Siberian looking truck and a half dozen crazy scientists in front of vast stretches of nothing but snow. And yours is showing a bit more of the day in the life there for humans standing next to an airport. The real dot on the i, and extra minor coincidence is the jet taking off right next to the reporter's head. Both photos are true, and both photos, one could say, give misleading impressions taken only on their own.
I don't know what come to your mind after reading that article, but mine was: Oh man! Canon 5D Mark IV is truly far better than 60D. Shopping cart added.

Well it crashed my whole browser (Vivaldi, OSX) after I scrolled a bit, so Chrome has a point I guess.
