Once again the "myth" that the photo linked from
http://www.shoutwire.com/comments/2735/Rare_photo_of_Space_Shuttle_Sonic_Boom
shows the shuttle at the moment of a "sonic boom".

The photo itself is cool and Mary can explain why that has nothing
necessarily to do with a "sonic boom".

What's also interesting in the comments is the number of misconceptions
people have. (such as that the sonic boom only occurs during landing.)

Why, I believe you're right.

Gee, we could probably do a "how many things wrong with this photo/url"

I don't think it was photoshopped (other than probably flipping it.)
