Wow – amazing video. I hadn’t seen much local footage of the STS-107 crash.

I was at my house, I hear a noise, and I thought it was a tornado, but it was a clear sky. I didn’t go out to look. It was weird.

I actually witnessed this incident, I had also told a few friends and family members of its return over EAST TEXAS, This is the 4th Reentry I have gotten to see. I first noticed that it was off track, then saw 1 piece come off of port side then another and so on, until it was overhead and to the south when it disappeared. Then the continuous roll of sonic booms. My heart sank, I knew it was not good.

Wow, great work on the video! Interesting to hear the 911 calls coming in. Hard to believe it was that long ago.
