The Space Shuttle has crashed
Pantso:
I don't think it's a terrorist attack, unless the terrorists possessed ballistic missiles that could travel at 13,500 mph and at more than 60,000 ft in the sky. Looks like a terrible accident and nothing else. Again, a pity.
Kintaro:
I think it was that debris, osama and sadama dont get credit for everything.
And what about the poor saps on the space station.
Calum:
they are complicated vehicles and they need to be tough too. the challenger disaster was the result of incorrect control programming from what i heard, but this was on its way back down to earth, yes? so it was more likely some engineering or structural fault, so?
it's a damn shame. yes i feel the same way as when i saw the challenger disaster on TV way back when (i feel old now you said it was 17 years ago!)
with the challanger, they reckon the 7 inmates were alive and burning to death for a further five minutes after the explosion, but they didn't say so until a good few years later.
it's a good safety record yes, like planes and trains, but when there's a big disaster on one of these things, people really take it to heart.
what's a bit of a shame is, now there's been this disaster, NASA will be really set back in funding and so on, just like after the appollo 13 near miss and the challenger disaster.
Interscope:
7 people died..
Alot more than 7 people die every day.
There was an Isreali Bomber Pilot in that shuttle. I bet he was sad too when he bombed innocent palestinians who lived 2 streets from a house where a terrorist lived.
Flame on.
PsychoticDreams:
yeah i have to agree with you but what about the us people who just bombed afghanies most of them where innocent too. and what the hell was the point of dropping them food then dropping bombs. They were just doing what they were told. oh wait they suicide bomb and throw rocks all the time, if i was the israel gov i would have kicked the shit out of em.
