Talk:Space Shuttle Columbia disaster
This page needs to be renamed since there is no evidence that the shuttle was destroyed by an explosion. All evidence so far indicates it disintegrated so lets rename this page to Space Shuttle Columbia disaster or something similar. --mav
- The title doesn't indicate destruction and there is evidence of an explosion over Palestine, but I agree that disaster is probably a better title. Can someone fix the pronunciation character in the main article? I couldn't get the article to show an upside down e. B
Might it be better to merge it into STS-107 (or at least for the two to be one article, whatever the title)? --Camembert
- The articles, as they should, cover two different subjects: the STS-107 covers the entire mission; and the disaster article covers only this aspect of the mission in greater detail...when, where, who, why. B
- That still doesn't necessarily warrant two articles. It would be nice to focus everyone's effort on a single article, channelling attention to the other aspects of STS-107 rather than relegating that article to relative obscurity and having a great article on the explosion itself. -- RobLa 20:40 Feb 1, 2003 (UTC)
Just want to give an attaboy to everyone who contributed to this article, & got it promptly into place. I heard about this disaster 30 minutes after it happened when the wife turned on the tv, & I was able to learn the important details by looking at this article -- which came up faster than the link to the article on CNN. -- llywrch 19:38 Feb 1, 2003 (UTC)
Congratulations on getting this page up so quickly. This is what makes Wikipedia so special, that it can be almost up to the minute in its information. I'm just watching the coverage here in Dublin on Sky News; I only discovered about the accident 30 minutes ago. My sympathies to the people of the United States and of course Israel on the loss of life. JTD 20:12 Feb 1, 2003 (UTC)
--- Yeah! That's Wikipedia! But I think whether considering the possibility of a terrorist atack wouldn't be a problem of imparcial opinion? I wonder if this evil axis has not gone so far. Let's stop the war. Peace now!
