MSNBC erred in an Oct. 14 graphic that mistakenly reported that Felix Baumgartner, the man who “broke the sound barrier” while sky diving, had “traveled faster than speed of light,” Mediaite reported.

The Huffington Post noted that Baumgartner “was the first person to break the speed of sound without being in a jet or spacecraft.”
