Columbia crew -
02-28-2003, 01:50 PM
Was home for lunch a while ago and had the tv on. On FOX news they were playing a video from inside shuttle Columbia up until it blew. Haven't seen it posted on any of the news sites yet. Crazy shit, everything is fine and then the video goes back. pretty eerie shit

It was like a 15 minute video. At some points they would point the camera in an angle where u could see out the window. bright orange cuz of the re-entry. it should be plastered on the net sometime today

Damn i missed it. Is there any noise or is it just a video?
I still remember ( not like it was to long ago ) coming home from school and seeing the 911 tapes with the ppl swearing, that was some scary shit.

I read that it was a cockpit view camera and the tape was found intact except the last 10 or so mins were burnt. I dont think it is that graphic the shuttle coming apart isnt part of it. (havent seen it but thats what I read)

From what the news said the video taped up to the point Houston lost contact with them. On the video, the screen just goes black at that point. No gore or anything. I would imagine everything was just incinerated at that point. sad sad stuff

If you think of the speed they were at. Doesnt matter if they knew. 12,000+mph all it takes is a crack and you got a big problem
