People Who Thought The Space Shuttle Was the Challenger

Photo by Rob Schenk on DCist.com

I would have had the best view of the space shuttle flying over D.C. on Tuesday while at the Capitol, but because of a 10am meeting, I missed the whole thing by 5 minutes. Dang.

At least I did not see the shuttle and think it was the Challenger. DCist.com ran a great post on Tuesday about the multitude of people who posted about seeing the Challenger. Sure, I make historical mistakes sometimes, too, but this is too awkward to not re-post.
