Worse still, this happens a lot, with people thinking or making up stories that they witnessed large-scale events. It reminds me of a story about a plane that crashed, and all the witnesses swore it fell like a fireball until they got close-up footage that showed there was no fire.

Maybe she was a planted patsy, an actor ?
It's an incredible story btw, show how easy we were all fooled on many aspects.

But why did she do it all? 

Do lies wrapped in enough layers becoming self-sustaining? And is the personal lie subconsciously ignored as it adds to the collective greater ‘good’

Will give it a watch. Not expecting any answers though lol
