The planned front page for today's NYT at left; at right, the Bin Laden Killed version. (Major props to NYT newsroom for amazingly quick turnaround.)

Nick Bilton posted a screenshot showing how the original front page of the New York Times appeared before they literally stopped the presses to switch out to the new front page with the announcement of Osama bin Laden’s killing.
