I was here also on that Columbia thread. Seems a long time. The MSM did not have anything until about ten minutes after we figured she was lost. A Freeper in Texas reported seeing it as it broke apart.
For some reason I couldn't sleep that night (morning). I clicked on Fox News and decided to watch a routine shuttle landing. I didn't log on to FR until about 20 minutes after the scheduled landing time and found the Live Shuttle landing thread. You are right, FR had better info than the MSM.
