THE TRAGEDY
It's hard to say anything more than what has been said. I was touched by the president's words which included a very appropriate quotation from Isaiah 40:26.

One of the most intersting Internet angles is the National Weather Service's radar image reported to be that of the shuttle's break-up over Texas. (Thanks Donald Drake).

Of all the Internet news services I subscribe to it was the Tucson Citizen which got to me first as I was opening my email. From the time stamp on their email it looks like they had news to their subscribers within 7 minutes of the shuttle break-up. They must have had staff on duty on Saturday morning.
