Shuttle Columbia Destroyed
Very sad news to hear this today – of course we all know by now that the shuttle broke up some 200K feet over Texas while it was still going some 12K mph. The Apollo fire which killed 3 astronauts on the ground and the other unfortunate Shuttle disaster all took place within in roughly the same week of the year as this incident. Spooky but still sad ….God bless the crew, their families and their friends.
