TY rabbit! I just came here to post a notice of the loss.

It's still not known what the cause of the loss was. The shuttle was unable to make it's re-entry. It disintegrated as it entered our atmosphere. The pair of sonic booms expected were never heard.

It's a feeling of deja vu! Another seven astronauts lives lost. A very sad day. Flags are lowered to half mast. Recovery teams are searching for particles of the lost craft. Warnings that the debris can be hazardous are being sent to the masses. Smoldering debris is all over east Texas. Several hundred miles of Texas are reporting various debris. Citizens are keeping at bay from the debris and "guarding" the area till it can be retrieved.
