Lawsuit over 9/11 photo heads to trial
April 12, 2007
BY SANDRA K. REABUCK
The Tribune-Democrat
SHANKSVILLE — A Somerset County woman’s lawsuit is headed for trial on whether The Associated Press infringed on the copyright of the famous photo she took seconds after the crash of United Flight 93.
~
U.S. District Judge Terrence McVerry of Pittsburgh refused to throw out the lawsuit Valencia McClatchey filed in 2005 against The AP.
~
She is seeking at least $150,000 in damages, plus any profits AP realized.
Someone please check my math - I'm a bit rustier than I thought!
hyp = 1.6 x 5280 ft = 8448 ft
ASSUMING the drawing is to scale, and drawn accurately, my best measurement for the angle is 16°. Note that it is an oblique triangle, with two equal sides. By halving the angle, we get a new angle of 8 degrees, thus forming a right-angle and are now calculating half the distance of the opposite side.
tan theta = opp / hyp
tan 8° = ??? / 8448
therefore:
??? = tan 8 x 8448
??? = 0.14054 x 8448
??? = 1187.289 ft
In light of only calculating half the distance, we can safely double this side as it is mirrored on the otherside, thus:
1187.289 ft x 2 = 2374.578 ft
QED.
Caller: Val McClatchey... she has a famous photo.
Shanksville local: It was a fake photo, because it didn't have a mushroom cloud.
Caller: It what?
Local: There was no mushroom cloud.
Caller: So it was a fake photo?
Local: Yeah.
Caller: Her photo's faked?
Local: Yeah.
Caller: For what? For money?
Local: Yeah.
Caller: Why, do you know that for sure?
Local: Yeah!

No skeptic whether it be a skeptic of the entire 9/11 inside job theory or a Skeptic of Killtown has EVER debunked his claim. I mean truly debunked, not just attacking him or asking him for his identity. This is one of the most important pieces of evidence in the movement. Someone debunk this, or lets get AP the info to counter sue Val haha.

For a sense of scale:
Working at the longitude of the crater, KT's "plume" vectors add ~171 meters of width over my estimate. (my estimate at that longitude is ~584 meters)
To look at it another way, his plume width at that longitude is ~783 meters; that's 134% larger.
That's about 10 meters of difference on the white barn, and about 5.5 meters of difference on the red barn.
The diameter to the outer ring of his "Realistic Explosion Size" is ~263 meters, and to the inner ring is ~150 meters. Consider the widest part of the debris field is ~130 meters and the widest part of the burn area is ~81 meters.
He also has the crater ~55 meters NE of actual (center to center of craters).
Since he has it marked, mid crater (mine) to closest point on the pond (where the engine was found) is 265 meters. To the center of pond, 311 meters, and to the furthest edge 381 meters. NOTE: The pond is in the middle of my estimated plume stem size. If the engine ended up there, I do not think it is unreasonable to assume that other burning debris was strewn between the point of impact and there as well.
Taking his "Realistic Explosion Size" max, we have to move his "Possible Burn Mark" ~285 meters west to fit into my plume width.
