From what I've seen, I don't think we can say yet that it was not a hack or hoax.
I don't recall a lot of discussion about it here but have read some things about timestamps and phones and servers and java and PHP and apps and mods and APIs and other interfaces that allow you to set dates and times in certain situations, usually in the future, but who's to say someone didn't find a hole or a hack to modify something on Twitter to set a past date.
This is a bit beyond me technically, but I haven't seen where anyone with this kind of technical knowledge has addressed here.
It's still a possibility.

Jesus Christ, did you even look at the OP's twitter feed?
This is a girl who is blathering on and on for days about mindless stuff like the Royal Wedding. She's not obsessed with ATS or conspiracies.
Her grandmother saw the feed on Fox, and she saw it too.
She tweeted one tweet in her life about this. She has something like 263 followers, even after posting it here.
Are you seriously theorizing that she has some sort of sophisticated technology and motive to hack twitter just to post a thread here to get meaningless ATS points or something?
If your theory is true it's more of a story than the Fox ticker.
C'mon man.... lucidity is your user name....use some logic and sense here. Her story is as true as anything you'll see online, and certainly infinitely more believable than anything being published by the MSM.
My god..... we are in seriously deep #, aren't we.......
ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan — Witnesses say two loud explosions have rocked the Pakistani town where Osama bin Laden was killed in a U.S. raid.
The source of the blasts was not immediately clear. An Associated Press team at the compound where bin Laden was living before the April 29 raid saw no signs of unusual activity Sunday.
There had been speculation that authorities might demolish the house in Abbottabad to try to stop the intense media attention on the town.
This breaking news story will be updated.

guys let it go.. We don't have any real prove Osama wasn't killed when they said he was. Trying to find conspiracy in every single piece of information is just making us look pathetic
This running aorund like chickens you refer to? That is called research. Try it sometime.

I keep hearing this place is filled with some of the most intelligent critically thinking people who cannot be easily duped. With the exception of a handful of people, all I see is a bunch of people running around like chickens without a head.
I was answering your question, that she has in fact tweeted with someone who has read this thrread.

In any event it is important.
There have been lies that when push comes to shove, we can't really prove.
It this has occurred, then somehow it will wax provable. If they have lied, and we can prove it, we need to take them to the cleaners on this and be given an explanation/rationalization for all the twisted details.
The devil's in the details. I want to know why.
If the MSM peruses ATS as SO has remarked they do, I hope one of them will investigate this. I have on the news now, and honestly, I keep thinking any minute mention will be made of this. Maybe CNN will try to get a response from FOX. ?
