Guest guest Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 I set my TV to come on at 6am and I couldn't believe what I was hearing... I know I dosed for at least 45 minutes until it sank in. Then I watched what many Americans watched over the sky and it left no doubt the fate of that crew. How very sad for the families waiting on the ground at the space station, waiting to greet their loved ones. Such a tragedy for not only us but, as you stated Tenayahh, Israel as well. I listened this morning as the authorities spoke of the debris and not to get near it. It seems the jet fuel is very toxic and can cause a film to take place inside your lungs and there is nothing that they can do... death comes in 24 to 48 hrs. Highly toxic. They went on to explain why they use wind machines after the space shuttle lands and why it takes approx. 6 minutes to get the crew out... waiting for the fuel fumes to move away from the shuttle. All in all, I know God reach out his loving arms and took them home. Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
