"At 200,000 feet the sound of the boom would have taken over 3 minutes to reach those who heard on the ground.

When they heard it and looked up it was more than 3 minutes AFTER the explosion."



Would that indicate that the explosion actually happened BEFORE the video footage we've been seeing? Indicating that it happened during the hi-temp re-entry?

I have yet to see any video with sound attached. People did not hear the sound and rush out with their cameras. All shuttles return over North Texas and people watch for them to come down and video the event on a routine bases. Because of that we will get lots of film over the next few days.
