LOS ANGELES, July 4 (UPI) -- Los Angeles-based clothing-maker American Apparel has issued an apology for a picture of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster posted to its Tumblr account on Thursday.
The picture featured the infamous smoke plumes that marked the sky just seconds after the in-flight breakup of the Challenger Shuttle that cast a solemn mood on January 28, 1986. Just a minute after its launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the breakup destroyed the shuttle and killed all seven astronauts.
