Rich I was there with Patrick and the rest. We did notice an event but were not sure if it was normal or unusual. Patric was the only experience obsurver and he was not alarmed. I have pictures and have sent them to Patrick so he can publish them on his web. I did catch the flair that MAY have been the begining of tragedy.

I feel heartsick over this horrible tragedy; a terrible blow to space exploration and another grim reminder just how much risk there is to the brave men and women who are willing to commit to the frontiers of discovery. I sure hope this doesn't set things back too far at NASA, like the aftermath of the Challenger accident did. And, if only the Bush admin. had as much interest in scientific exploration as they seem to have in taking down Saddam... sigh! -Rich --- UTAHDEB@aol.com wrote:

This is a total shock. I saw it flyover Ivins, UT at about 6:56 am. It was incredible! I went back to bed for another hour when I got up and heard the shocking news. My heart goes out to the astronauts and their families.
