Yes, unfortunately, the tin foil crowd smells blood so they are out in force. But, I think in this case there is something that doesn't smell right. This based strictly on the comments of Dittemore.

Just out of curiosity, did you read the report the Rogers Commission produced after the Challenger disaster? I did. And it left an impression. If things have changed since then (besides better PR), then I'll be a happy camper. But they're going to have to prove it. And what I've sees so far doesn't make me happy.

I not too concerned with that yet.

If Dittemore has gotten five hours of sleep since this happened I would be surprised. He's probably still trying to come to grips with this disaster, and the death of his friends, like everyone else, while they try to piece together what exactly happened, are trying to take care of families, trying to respond to demands from the press, etc.

I would be far more worried if his story didn't change because that would be symptomatic of coming up with an excuse and sticking to it.

My post was inspired by the multiple and disgusting posts being made here on FR, many within a couple of hours of the disaster, that are pure speculation and being passed off as fact. There's one prolific poster who keeps posting the same bogus photo's on different threads claiming it's evidence of massive wing damage; only to have it refutted and moving on to a new thread to post the same pictures again.

My post was intended as a call for sanity. Let's not rush to judgement based on the rantings of a few unhinged individuals who claim to know the truth. We will get to the truth, but people like them, starting their harmful rumors, will not make that job easier.
