Space Shuttle Crash
 

at 9 eastern today the crew of the space shuttle columbia, including the first israeli astronaut ever, died as the shuttle blew up over texas. As if the US and Israeli didnt have enough to deal with already:(

keep your eyes on the TV for more info.

Local doppler radar here shows hundreds of pieces still coming down.

Yea my parents mentioned this...kinda sucks...but **** happens I guess.

Oh you live in Texas Neo? Could you see it?

I live in Austin, which is about 3 and half hours south of Dallas. No I didn't hear anything. I was playing Warcraft III...:unsure:

I just heard Brian Williams say that body parts had also been found.

-_- Bad stuff as usual.. This sucks a lot.. :unsure: I don't really know what to say.

My mom woke me up this morning to tell it about it. It's sad. There were almost home.

The space shuttles are ticking time bombs. Columbia was manufactured in 1979! The technology aboard the space shuttles is so outdated it's ridiculous. The fact is that we have the new technology to build safer and more technologically advanced shuttles, but no one wants to fund it. It's pure politics. What it comes down to is that it will take a tragic event like this to get people to wake up.

It is a sad day.

They said they have almost no clue how this could have happened. They repeatedly delayed the mission for safety and such....

I heard about it this morning. Its sad, but with old technology, it was bound to happen someday. And I heard that the other 2 major disasters occured around this time also. (Jan. 27th & Jan. 28) Interesting :unsure::sneaky:

OMG LOOK!

President Bush blew it up with his missle defense system, and now is saying Iraq did it, and is going to start a nuclear war over it!!! OMG!!!

Sorry, I was trying to be Almansurah :angel:

Carry on.

:rolleyes:

Nice try.

true nice try... but anywho what caused the shuttle to blow? i was @ work and know nothing of this situation.... :(
