RE: Space Shuttle Columbia.... :(

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Been watching BBC News 24 since it was announced. Same feelings of
disbelief
as when the previous Shuttle disaster happened.

They have announced that they have ruled out a terrorist attach due to
the
altitude but I dont know if I fully beleive that yet. Didnt Ronald
Regan
spend an awful lot of money into research fro destroying things beyond
the
reach of conventional weapons.

If its purely a tragic accident then its a cruel coincidence that it
happens
to the flight with an Israli crew member on board and at a time when Bush
is
set to
obliterate Saddam.

A truely sad day :-(

An explosive cabin depressurisation at that height would have
incinerated
them almost instantly.

It's a sad, sad, day, and soemthing I hoped I would never have to see
again,
the only consolation is that the astronauts would not have suffered.
It's
unlikely that they would have known what happened.
