25. The headline says "NYC"

I wasn't suggesting a better quote, just simply typing without looking up.

Did they say "New York City" as implied by the headline, or did they say "New York" as stated in the article.

Again, with feeling, if someone says "New York" it does not necessarily imply "New York City". But someone put "NYC" in the headline, while the article says "New York".

But "may have planned to go to NYC" is different from "said they were going to New York"

On edit:

Look again at the two quotes I used, and your reproduction of them. "they were planning to go to New York" and "they said they were planning to go to New York" are also two different things.
