Sixty seconds from Texas at 12K MPH, is what- over California? Over the Pacific?

Nope, sixty second at 12,000 mph is only 200 miles, still over Texas, it's about 360 miles miles from Ft. Worth to the border near Amarillo. I'm a little fuzzy just where Columbia would have been when this image was acquired, but I'm working on it... I think somewhere near Amarillo, or about 290-300 miles from Albequerque where the telescope that aquired the image is located.

You are quite right- I stand corrected.

Now off to the store with me!
