I remember this well. At the time even the scientists involved didn’t think they’d broken the speed of light.
A lot of news publications still ran with the headline that physics had been broken though, because that generates more newspaper sales / ad revenue.

It's a trick that can't always be applied of course, but in situations like this one, it's a pretty good one. Also, all the "will surprise you", "happens next", etc are instant ctrl+w (close tab).
