The Columbia was making four drastic turns over the western US to dissapate speed. That's the last they heard from it.

This is scary!
I was monitoring your thread when MSNBC started having someone on who was saying "We should have seen it by now". "It should be here by now".

They should have had cameras on it about 10 minutes out. I fear the worst.

Unconfirmed reports of debris discovered in Texas. Looks as though the Shuttle has been lost. God Bless the crew.

CNN showing video of it breaking up over Dallas! It's gone!

They were doing massive steep turns, four I believe, and this had something to do with it. IMO
To: McGruff
Just saw it on CNN, it just broke
up, like it came in too fast?

It wasnt a glow that spread back like a comet but it must have been "on fire" because it was bright and big. 18 posted on 02/01/2003 9:03 AM EST by winodog

It's said to have broken up over Dallas. Was it intact when you saw it? Or Did you see multiple trails?

You may have been the last to see the Columbia.I know. I'm not sure if any of my classmates were on this flight... I'll check later once my emotions settle down.

... Was it intact when you saw it? Or Did you see multiple trails?At first I was just in awe of the sight. After it passed from view I realized that something just didn't look right. Instead of just one glowing spacecraft it looked as if there were smaller glowing pieces moving off and away from it. In retrospect, I realize that it was breaking apart.
