I was actually up this morning for a brief time at around 9, and the tv was on and I caught the announcement that they lost contact with the shuttle. I thought, maybe they'll land safely, but of course that wasn't very likely. I went back to bed and now of course it's on all the channels.
Lotek, I was actually going to ask you if you'd seen or heard anything, you must be right near there! Any debris fall in your area? It looks like most of it fell in unpopulated areas, which is good at least for the people on the ground.
