they are saying it was at 2000 feet over centeral Texas, so it already went thru the earths atmosphere. But, I guess it could have had problems, during re-entry.

CNN has video of a contrail over Dallas with multiple trails... BAD NEWS

God, I guess the best we can hope for is that they died quickly.

Our thoughts and prayers for the members of the shuttle and their families. We need a miracle now.

CNN just showed the video from WFAA. If it's the shuttle, it's gone. They're gone.
