Did it really break up over Palestine, or are they just pulling our legs?

From what I understand, it was directly above Dallas when it started breaking up. They are reporting that debris has been found in New Mexico, Arkansas, and as far south as the Houston area. Some debris may have ended up in the Gulf of Mexico. With a debris field that wide, you could technically argue that it broke up over most of the cities and towns in Texas.

You do realize it's Palestine, Texas? Pronounced Pala-steen.

The debris field is hundreds of miles long. More came down over Nagadoches than anywhere else, and Palestine, TX isn't fare from there.

This is typical Arab media spin for domestic consumption. The Saudis aren't as blatant as the Iraqis who claimed the tragedy was "Allah's revenge" on the Americans and Israelis, but this is there not-so-subtle way of delivering the same message.

I did give a BARF ALERT with this post, and I did it for good reason.
