Am i the only person who thinks it idiotic to "pickup" a 5' diameter tank?
Sounds like a tank for fuel cells?
Must be a lengthy debris field.
This could be the end of the shuttle program.
The vehicles are too old and we need to move forwards with a new vehicle, a new day, a new NASA.
We need to pray for this loss, our nation, our President, and most of all...the families of the lost.

The only 5' diameter spherical metal tanks that I know of on the shuttle are the LH2 and LOX dewars. The other tanks in the midbody are smaller.
I wonder if the crew module made it intact (being roughly spherical).
Gawd, I wonder what happened to the SpaceLab...
