Especially when there is no obvious motive for faking a picture of a cloud of smoke in the first place.
Motive
Are there any motives for Val to be in on faking this photo if it is indeed fake? Unfortunately, there are.
Right before 9/11, her and her husband had suffered "severe business loss." They were later forced to file for bankruptcy for their saw mill company:
"On September 20, 2001, JCM Industries, Inc. filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. On February 12, 2002, the filing was converted to a liquidation proceeding under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. John C. McClatchey, a director and nominee, is President, director and principal shareholder of JCM Industries, Inc." - Edgar-Online.com
They ended up losing their business as of Dec 31, 2001, putting 40 people out of work. Val also mentions that they may lose their house.
And it gets worse. Val mentions that her and one of her children have major health problems. Just imagine if they lost their health insurance around the time when their business goes under. They also have some other potential major expenses coming up with her son buying a house and her daughter getting married in eight months. Remember it's tradition in America for the bride's family to pay for most of a wedding.

There was a cloud of smoke. If you listen to this Air Traffic Control tape, at 3.40 or so, you will hear it reported by another aircraft. Dark cloud at 2 o'clock.
So why couldn't the woman have taken a picture of it ? She lives nearby.
Why would anyone want to co-opt her into a murderous conspiracy ?
