WFAA just showed a pic of debris sent to them. Reports of debris in Plano.

Channel 8 News in Dallas is showing a picture of a piece of shny twisted metal lying on a sidewalk and saying it is a piece of debris. Tuned in too late to see where in town this was. Pretty good sized, I'd say 2 x 3 inches

Even though they've "ruled out terrorism". They're not gonna take any chances with the Pres. ABC just talked to a man in St. Augustine County, Texas. Said he's got pieces of aluminum in his yard from the crash

Thank you.

I am of the opinion that it's good for lurkers to see the difference between us and them. Actions speak much louder than words.

[RobFromGa]

What a week.

[E.G.C.]

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the crew of the shuttle. This is really a bad deal.

[Polly]

Any word on where the pieces are falling/have fallen???

[Dr. Zoo]

Someone got on MSNBC about an hour ago saying that Howard Stern was aboard. Sick.

HEY STU! Good to talk to you this morning!

CBS radio news brodacasted an interview with a government official who reported recovery of an arm and a hand. Just brodcast on national news.

Don't associate with hate right now. Stay away from DU. This is a time for mourning and reflection, and being close with your wife and children. Life is short and uncertain, and every moment you can spend with your loved ones just bonus freebee extras.

Be strong and comforting for your family, my friend. And NEVER stop praying.

A sad day. We all heard the explosion about 8 AM in the Dallas area. Didn't have a clue what it was, of course.
