Shuttle Data Recorder May be Key to Accident

Posted by michael on from the aftermath dept.

DreamerFi writes "A flight data recorder from the space shuttle Columbia, recovered last week in East Texas, contains readings that continue 14 seconds later than any previously studied data. Those readings are likely to play a crucial role in determining the cause of the shuttle's catastrophic breakup on Feb. 1."

    Yeah. The sad parts are the slowed search, the delayed investigation, and the slipping future flight schedule.

    The two people killed in the accident obviously don't deserve mention. In fact, they deserve to have died because they contributed to the delays mentioned.

    yeah.

    um ...

    Might I suggest that you GET YOUR F'ING PRIORITIES STRAIGHT?

    <sigh>
