Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who was a guest of honor at the opening of the new National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, attempted to unveil a painting of the signing of the Constitution, with Justices O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, and other celebrity guests in place of the Founding Fathers; instead, a large steel-and-wood structure that was suspended over O'Connor collapsed, narrowly missing her but striking Senator Arlen Specter.
