I was half watching and half listening to Fox & Friends this AM and heard Mike Jared (I think) say at 7:59 AM, "For our viewers in Texas, if you hear a loud noise it's just the space shuttle passing over your state." I immediately switched the channel to Animal Planet to catch my favorite show, "Breed All About It".

45 minutes later my husband rushed in from the kitchen to ask if I'd seen the news. "The shuttle broke apart over Texas and they've lost contact with it," he reported. Later the broadcast said it happened at 8:03, CST. It is so erie to think that the talking heads on Fox & Friends lightheartedly predicted a "big noise" over Texas just minutes before the explosion.
