Today's fake: Woman who told of 9/11 survival

A woman who has gotten attention for several years telling a story of surviving the collapse of the World Trade Center while losing her fiancé turns out to be dubious. Strange mix of fantasies:
Her own life was saved, she said, by a selfless volunteer who stanched the flames on her burning clothes before she was helped down the stairs. It was a journey she said she had the strength to make because she kept thinking of a beautiful white dress she was to wear at her coming marriage ceremony to a man named Dave.
...
She has told people that she is the daughter of a diplomat, and is described on the Survivors' Network Web site as "a senior vice president for strategic alliances for an investment think tank."
