Columbia Space Shuttle Disaster
 

What about the tale of Man flight without that of the space adventure ?

Truly linked to the legendary flights of a Bleriot, a Lindberg or les aventuriers de l'aeropostale, the space flight program bear the foot print of our legendary heroes: each step still stand on the pioneering side.

Columbia was a disaster that still have much to tell on that. You might hve some interest watching this 50+ min documentary of her last flight...

(WWII) The USN Navy in color: The fighting Lady (Yorktown)
 

Hi,

For those that didn't get a chance to view that classics, here it is. The footage is stunning (heroic and real), in color, with on board camera. You will see USN planes during strafing, dive bombing and also some well known guncam.

My favorite sequence might be the shooting down of a Japanese H8K by a horde of hellcats (who's talking abt Dogfights)!!

Here is the most interesting comment I hve found on this documentary:

It's 1hr long. So seat-back, relax and enjoy!

No trace of a missile...

But you don't know what the cause of the explosion was? - not necessarily a missile.It could be leaking fuel,fumes,weapons on board the helicopter.
Saddest thing is that people died :(

Hopefully happier stuff,another video from me from Old Warden http://www.shuttleworth.org/
last weekend.

Thanks for that link.
I've always wondered what really happened and of course, the industry (and news) finds revelations all too boring and would rather report on what Miley C. is wearing.

Now, I'm hoping that the industry 'self-corrects' to avoid this. Though apparently, current events say otherwise, unfortunately.
