Anniversary of Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster

Today is the 20th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, when the orbiter broke up on reentry. I just drove by Space Center Houston, and the orbiter mockup sitting on the back of the 747 brought back some sad memories of that day and those that followed.

I was working outside (Tarrant County) and heard a sonic boom. I looked up and saw that it had already broken up.

@Crazywaterspring It was a terrible sight to see separate trails across the sky.
