I'd say by the sound of his accent, he's not from the area mate.
momentarily disoriented was all.

He's British and impatient too
The impatience probably stopped him setting it up properly

He was located in the VIP viewing area.
I photographed a night launch of Shuttle from that area myself....
suffices to say ...there was no problem identifying which launch pad was being used.

It must be hard though Joe
There are two launch pad side by side....but which one do you aim the camera at???
One is empty with the gantry swung back
The other has a deta winged spacecraft strapped to two huge boosters sitting on the side of an enormous browish-orange tank leaking vapour from various parts of it's anatomy
Easy mistake to make really

With a white-haired spokesman called Chester Whitehair I thought it was going to be a spoof. Then calling the Delta 2 explosion an "anomaly" didn't help.
