They also apparently reported that it was at 65000 miles altitude and was destroyed by a shoulder-launched Stinger missile.

... Why do american news sources suck so much? Especially local news. They are so friggin melodramatic.
"... and thats how little Fluffy escaped from the tree... for this, we salute our firemen *national anthem plays while collage of patrotic pics are shown*". Report some real friggin news, or dont report anything at all!

Thank god for the BBC...

On Saturday, Fox News Channel said that the shuttle exploded at 200,000 miles above the earth. Apparently the shuttle took a little trip to the moon before exploding.

...Um... OK.

Speed of light (not sound): approx. 186,000 miles per second.

18 times the speed of light: 3,348,000 miles per second.

At this speed, the shuttle could travel from the Earth to the Moon in a fraction of a second, to the Sun in about thirty seconds, to Pluto in less than half an hour.
