Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas

Space shuttle lost over Texas

The space shuttle Columbia broke up as it descended over Texas Saturday toward a planned landing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, showering debris across southeastern Texas and into Louisiana.

Police in Nacogdoches, Texas, reported "numerous pieces of debris" both inside the city limits and in Nacogdoches County.

A grim log of the Shuttle re-entry status.

A terrible tragedy for all Americans and especially the families of the crew, our thoughts and prayers are with them.
