its the weirdest thing. at like 3am i had a dream that some ship crashed and woke up to my dad telling me about it
 
The leading theory is a meteorite or space debris hit the shuttle. Someone in California captured pictures of something that looked like a massive electrical storm engulfing the shuttle as it flew over california. There has been numerous times where the foam insulation has hit the wings on launch. And the 60 degree temp spike has happened twice before as well.

This morning, NASA is backing away from the foam theory. They say it never made sense to their engineers.

There is a video on azfamily.com over Arizona where they captured it when it looks like a piece of the left wing comes off the ship. The streak over California looks likes it's the hydraulics fluid being vaporized and leaving the trail.

I'm sticking with that there was a crack in the wing exposing it to the elements. When it hit the high velocity wind it simply sheared the wing off from that point out and then the ship's control tried in vain to correct to "drag" of losing half the left wing and then it just started coming apart. Not Rocket science.

HORRIBLE..
CNN is reporting on TV that people in Texas dont want to call the police if there is debris in their yard.. they feel it's on their property, and therefore they can keep it.
I can only guess they want it to 'sell' for a profit...

Send in the FBI and tell 'em it's a federal offense to steal federal property like that..

POS redneck FVCK texans.



I'm 😱 to be one.
 
I couldn't find the report of two guys who were arrested for taking shuttle debris.

On the other end of the spectrum, here's a story of people who are trying to be helpful by turning in "debris" (e.g. burnt toast).

Debris?

No, but I have it taped on VHS (unless dad's overwritten it with something else yet). If I had a TV-input card I'd capture it and upload it for you guys. Unfortunately, neither do I have such a card, nor do I have any friends (so no real possibility of loaning the tape to someone else and having them do it). Does anybody have a DivX capture or something?
