oh shit....

NASA lost contact with the shuttle, about 16 minutes before it was due to land. Now they're doing what sure as hell sounds like eulogies for the astronauts on CNN and reporting debris has fallen.... I think we lost another one. Oh, fuck.
Edit: Yeah, it's dead. CNN has eyewitnesses up the wazoo, and video of it shredding itself as it falls like a shower of shooting stars. No use in wishing on these, though. We lost them...
