6. I think I was too shocked, and horrified to think that far ahead...

Not everyone watching the live (or later rewatch on YT), had visited DC, and the Capitol building in particular.

I've been to DC many times; half for fun, and half for marches & demos.

Only visited The Capitol once ?in the '70s.
BUT there was a vid at a certain point of the insurrectionists going down a fairly narrow hallway that had a very distinct curved, and painted ?scenery ceiling!

I sort of mentally "bolted upright! I remembered that ceiling! It was unique.

One of weirdest moments - bc it connected me with a strong memory I had of being there. Even the outside shots didn't really do that. Maaaybe bc of the Inauguration scaffolding, the white-grey sky, vs the usually deep blue sky backdrop I experienced on many visits.
