Columbia Explosion Pictures
March 2003
I guess I should have expected it. There is some sick person out there
who seems to think that faking pictures of the shuttle explosion is fun.
These pictures were most likely swiped out of a recent movie.
It does not take much to determine that these are fake as there are a
lot of things wrong with the pictures.
The shuttle broke up in the atmosphere during reentry, these pictures
are in space.
During reentry, there is a ball of ionization around the shuttle and the
leading edges of the wings are very hot. There is no ionization in these
pictures.
It is over the night side of the earth but the reentry occurred in the
daytime.
It was traveling at 12,000 mph in the atmosphere. That kind of a breeze
would significantly streamline the debris field which you don't see in
the pictures.
Attached are pictures of the Shuttle Explosion from an Israeli Satellite
in space. They are from the Department of Justice in Washington D.C.
