Oh, I see that news.google.com is now re-writing headlines. Or at least synthesizing them from URLs. Whatever the method, what Google shows in its news is not the same as on the article if actually viewed by a reader.
For instance in the following article the actual headline is:
"Iran Claims It Struck American AWACS Aircraft In Saudi Airbase Strike"
But Google news rewrote that to be (or pulled it from the URL):
"Images Show Crucial American E-3 Sentry Aircraft Damaged At Saudi Air Base"
(Also - the word "damaged" is quite a euphemism in this case - that airplane was very sincerely "destroyed".)

@karlauerbach Maybe. Or maybe it was from another article that clustered together with the one you read. (Years ago, I subscribed to two different newspapers that both ran lots of wire stories—and the headlines were often quite different, and sometimes contradictory, on the same story.)
