PHOTOGRAPHER FIRED

12:26 PM, April 22, 2004

An alert reader informs us that Tami Silicio, the contract worker who took the photo on the front page of Sunday's Seattle Times, has been fired.

Silicio was let go yesterday for violating U.S. government and company regulations, said William Silva, president of Maytag Aircraft, the contractor that employed Silicio at Kuwait International Airport.

"I feel like I was hit in the chest with a steel bar and got my wind knocked out. I have to admit I liked my job, and I liked what I did," Silicio said.

Update: The Times, by the way, played this as their lead story today, running the photo again at a respectable size:

Heads up: After you hit "post" things may be slow and you may get an error. Most likely, your comment did post. Apologies. I'm looking for a fix.
