Are they suspecting some kind of missle shootdown? Who said that? Were the newspeople quoting a source or just conjecturing?

At 200,000 feet I doubt it.

Newsperson I think. They were talking about Bush convening that "Dometic Event" meeting. Then they said something about Norad and a command center being activated. That's why I asked if anyone else heard it? I'm not sure what they said, but I had the impression that we were worried about some kind of an attack.
But I was sitting here crying, so I'm not sure what they said.

"Are they suspecting some kind of missle shootdown? "You would need a full up and operating ICBM inerception system to do that. We are the closest to that. Nobody else has even a glimmer of that capability. This is a catastrophic failure of a shuttle system.
I predict a Russian Soyuz will be launched within days to remove the ISS crew. Don't look for any shuttle flights for a long time. The review boards will be endless.
