Hey everyone, just thought I'd pop in some news...space shuttle just crashed like 1 hour ago. 8:00 something Centeral time.
They lost contact with the crew, and many people including nasa saw the shuttle fall to the earth.

Oh yeah, I hear wherever it crashed (which they don't know yet) its toxic lol so stay away.

As of right now, they think it was a malfuntion...a israli was on board though (crew) BUT they were 39 miles above the earth when whatever went wrong, so to far for a missle.

I heard about it,my dad told me, I jokingly said have they ruled out terrorism, and he said yes, the FBI looked at it, and said that there was no way for the terrorists to do this. The US has been playing the victims since Sept 11 Everything bad that happens has to be terrorist eh?

BTW from what I hear, the columbia was destroyed because some foam fit the wing on the launch, NASA said that the damage was minimal.

man thats so sad. You start thinking about the families of the astronouts and how they must feel.

yeah well I just saw on tv, that they had a hurse to collect somehow a body remands. They also found a nasa patch at a diffrent location, there is know like over 200 locations I hear they got ropped off cause of debris. That really sucks.
Yeah I also feel sorry for the familys. This advent, well continue to unfold in the coming weeks and months.

As of now, the most educated statement is, that in launch, a small peice of form his the left wing, damaged it *very minimal* and then when going 39 miles above earth coming in for landing (207,000 feet) at mach 18 (18 times the speed of sound) they then started braking up, that point it also the most accident prone spot when landing.

It is a very sad day.

well, i hope they can find the cause of the problem. I hear theres something like a blackbox on these spacecrafts.
