You are absolutely right. I trip over that all the time at work. Hay! You gotta remember I grew up (in Hawaii) speaking pigeon English. My second language is Surferese and my third language is Regular English which I have less than half donw. (see)

Patrick. I hope you are a good sport. You know I am just teasing

Thank you. You deserve a grate deal of credit for the pictures we all got. You got us in the right place at the right time oriented in the right direction with the right setup. All I did was push the button.
The one thing I kick myself for now is that I didn't have my date/time stamp turned on. After working for 17 of the last 27 years in the data collection business and in particular being involved in writing programs that bring a number of different data sets together for analysis, I know how important it is to have properly time coordinated data. With out it the significance of each data set is reduced. It would be easy to assume that the video shown on TV and my picture are data of the same event. There is a good chance that that is not the case. If anyone hasn't seen the video spoken of shown on KSL go to
http://tv.ksl.com/index.php?nid=39&sid=8498
If we consider that the "zipper" affect started over Hawaii, pieces were falling off over the pacific, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona etc all the way to the final catastrophic event. There were multiple events and without time coloration it makes it very difficult to have confidence in saying these two pictures were of the same event. Patrick from some of your previous statements I feel that the event I captured was of the 6:56 (local time) event. Saying "I feel" does not inspire a lot of confidence in an important matter. You were astutely the timekeeper besides everything else you were doing. I guess the best we can do is say here is our piece of data.
Just a few thoughts concerning me.

I checked the web to see if Jim's picture was in the D News today (Tuesday).
Did a search on "Gibson" and got "Utah photo may show breakup of space shuttle"
but when I clicked on it it tried to take me to
http://deseretnews.com/dn/view2/1,4382,455029547,00.html?textfield=Gibson . All
that got me was "Not Found The requested object does not exist on this server."
Has anyone been able to get to Jim's picture today?
BTW, kudos to Jim for a fine interview on KSL TV this evening.
Patrick
