TBH, however, I suspect this may be a situation where MSN can't use the right photograph for copyright reasons (ie they won't pay for it) and possibly an automatically-generated image of 'a plane, any plane' was dug up - one where the usage rights permit re-use without paying. Don't imagine that there's an old-style picture desk scouring the photo library for just the right image for the story before publishing it.
Now you know why there is an element of truth in the statement of fake news. Misleading or innacurate is a better ststement but it just strengthens the argument
