Very harsh, my condolences go out to the friends and families of the astronauts. That's gotta be hell getting killed in that manner.

there are also reports that it may have been the tire pressure of the space shuttles tires. the last communication was reportedly about the tire pressure... the pilot said 'roger' and was about to say something else and then the transmission ended. If the tires exploded it would have ripped open the landing gear doors exposing the bottom of the spacecraft to the heat of re-entry...
