ON THIS DAY: The San Miguel County Sheriff's Office went viral with one of the most memorable tweets in Colorado history. 😂 The story behind the viral tweet:
DENVER — But when a large boulder fell onto a highway in San Miguel County Monday, it not only caused an inconvenience for drivers who are used to the sight, it created a large internet sensation the size of a small internet sensation.
They probably meant to say the boulder was the size of a small vehicle, but it was too late to send a correction. The internet latched on and wouldn't let go. The department did send a subsequent tweet clarifying the size of the boulder: Some of the replies read, “Looks a bit like a small boulder the size of a large boulder to me, but I can see how an untrained eye would confuse them.”And some had us literally laughing out loud:
"I know on Twitter you can't edit, and so I remember reading it and rereading it, and my mind saw 'large boulder the size of a small car,' and so I hit send, and there it went," Lilly said."This wasn't unlike any other public safety issue out there," she said."Whether it be a rock slide or a mudslide, we want to let our motorists know, so we use social media to get that information out. That's one of the most effective methods we have.
