There were no heroics done by him or his group. I know because I was the President at the time and there. His actions had most of the members leave the team after that night.

He fabricated photos! Plain and simple, he lied with his work and broke an oath as a photojournalist. He has called into question everything he has ever worked on or will ever cover in the future. How can you ever believe something he says from a scene when he has been caught creating photographs that never existed? If he can add a basketball to a photo that didn't have one, then what stops him from adding something else to a storm photo or coverage to make himself look better and get more money??Allan Detrich worked in a business that demanded honesty and integrity and he was kicked out because he failed on both counts.IMHO, the only way to believe anything Deitrich says or does in the news business is to be standing right next to him. @Wes,

Lying is not minor!

Allan Detrich worked in a business that demanded honesty and integrity and he was kicked out because he failed on both counts.

IMHO, the only way to believe anything Deitrich says or does in the news business is to be standing right next to him.

Some glory hound that was with meso took untrained photographers with him into a dangerous situation so someone would be on hand to film his heroics. Allan couldn't do anything to help in the situation, so he returned to do what he WAS trained to do. Shoot pictures. The only people put in harms way were the photographers. one had enough sense to leave. Allan didn't put two storm chasers in harms way.

He is a LIAR. He acts are selfish and self centered. HE put 2 team member in harms way so he could take photos. He utilized an official vest to gain access. and for the record he added to the photos just as much as he removed from the photos. He was dishonest during the investigation. HE accidently submitted that many photos. Thats just wrong You have not been around Allan long enought to make any comments. He is a LIAR. He acts are selfish and self centered.

Any of the members of MESO who were there with him can attest to his presence as can many of the residents of Greensburg whom they assisted. Although it is unacceptable by NPPA standards, his editing of photographs was very minor (removing a power cord, removing feet from underneath a banner, etc...). To insinuate he is fabricating a story about being in Greensburg because he was caught making minor edits to photographs is more irresponsible than the edits themselves.
