Been watching on CNN some more. I think that terrorism is ruled out, and we can put this down to a tragic accident.

Umm, this isn't the shuttle that carried those spiders up into space to see what they'd do in zero - grav is it??? Omg

Not good...not good at all.

I bet you that somehow the glass broke, and the pressure of the air went through the cabin, and had the force to rip the shuttle in half.

Notice the 'puffs' of smoke every so often after it breaks up?

They have Oxygen and I BELIEVE thrust fuel or something. Dunno if they dump fuel for thrusters before entry...

I think Columbia was the oldest Nasa shuttle around. Build in 81' if I'm right..

I just hope this doesnt mean that the mars mission is canceled so that China beats us and claims the red planet as part of the red nation [img]tongue.gif[/img] Then again you never know what could come of this...

They have found debris on the ground in Nacogdoches! That is only 50 miles southeast of here!

There have been un-confirmed information about some parts falling off the shuttle at its start.
