Reply #8: FWIW, here's what I think happened. Warning! Crazy conspiracy talk!

So here's what I think happened:

Mrs. Taylor took real photos of the WTC and may even have shot a picture with a plane in it. But I think the picture they have attributed to her is fake.

I think the someone at the AP used digital manipulation to put in a plane into a shot of the WTC that existed from another shoot (from the same person who did the CNN video).

Possibly the AP told Ms Taylor they extracted the image from her digital photo by enlargment. Then they paid her nicely for the photo and told her to stick to the official story. Probably she signed a deal giving up the photo to the AP. Since she was paid handsomely for the photo, she had no reason to question it.

This shot worked perfectly for the perpetrators, as they could pass it off as a bona fide shot of the killer plane from an innocent tourist.

I bet she doesn't even have the original anymore.

Another possibility is that the guy who emailed her photo had the shot pre-made and actually loaded it onto her camera when they were purporting to e-mail it to the local TV station.
