I saw posted and heard on the radio the shuttle was going about 12,500mph when it got into trouble.

12,500 / 60 = 208 miles per minute
208 / 60 = 3.47 miles per second

It is about 1500 miles from LA to Dallas.

1500 / 3.47 = 432 seconds
432 / 60 = 7.2 minutes to go from LA to Dallas. Lots of assumptions here and I hope my math is correct.

So like my last question.

With your math there is no way it took over 9 hours from LA to Texas.

The main report here was writen at 12:03 am. What's with the time difference?
