If any aircraft is flying through the air sideways, then it is doomed. I think anyone with an IQ over 30 would know this.

You also have to remember that the shuttle lost contact with the ground BEFORE it was over Texas. There were some folks here on FR who reported from California that it was already starting to break up when it passed over them.

I'm referring, of course, to anyone who might have hypothetically been filming such a descent, not you. LOL.
