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:(

Jeff Hancock, a 29-year-old dentist, said he found a chunk of debris in his office. "It came through the roof of my office. It's about a foot-long metal bracket," he said.
I just heard Brian Williams say that body parts had also been found.

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 The technology aboard the space shuttles is so outdated it's ridiculous.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:
