Didn't I read that a friend of hers was going to fly by her house? I didn't pay that much attention because it didn't seem relevant. KT, is there something sinister that lies underneath that explanation?
KT is happy as long as he can call something "suspicious." He doesn't care if the "suspicions" are mutually incompatible. E.g.:
It is "suspicious" that she had a camera ready: the implication being either that she was "primed" to take the photo (of a smoke cloud that really existed but wasn't from a plane) or that the photo is photoshopped (i.e., she couldn't really have made it out in time to take this photo).
It is "suspicious" that she only took one shot: this, of course, could only suggest that the photo is photoshopped (if this were a real, non-plane cloud then why wouldn't the conspirators want lots and lots of photos of it?).
It is "suspicious" that the cloud looks (to KT) like "ordnance": this, of course, implies that Val McClatchey actually
did take a photo of a real cloud, and that she did have the camera to hand. Either she did this to help the conspirators (but then why only one photo? and why didn't the conspirators ever make any use of this photo?), or she is the sterling citizen who has exposed the evil conspiracy (but then we have to go back to accepting her account of having the camera ready to hand, and see taking only one photo as not being suspicious).
It is "suspicious" to KT that the cloud isn't directly over the crash site: this, to KT, suggests that the plane could not have been the origin of the cloud. Here again this "suspicion" suggests one of two possibilities: either the cloud was photoshopped or the cloud was produced by something other than a plane crash. But then we have to ask: why would Val (or the FBI or whoever) photoshop in a cloud in the "wrong" place? She knows where she lives, she knows where the crash site was relative to her house--why would she make such an obvious "error"? And if the conspirators set off some explosive device to simulate the plane crash, why wouldn't they do so at the carefully sculpted crash site? And why wouldn't this bomb have left any fragments behind, or evidence of damaged trees or burnt ground or what have you?
KT doesn't choose to pick any one of these narratives because he knows that there isn't one of them (other than the OV) that doesn't bring massive contradictions in its wake. What he doesn't realize is that saying "one of five mutually contradictory things happened) doesn't magically make the contradictions go away.
Of course, if we were to start listing the things that KT doesn't realize, we'd be here all year.
