The article i read was about how the astronauts/crew really died and the situation... no one wants to know these realities, and yes the remains collected from the wreckage of the shuttle module were indeed 'collected' an placed in these drums and transported back up to northern Florida or where ever- its not a pretty thought and the general population wants to think they died instantly and that was not the case. I was stunned that i was there as those remains came through my area it made it all so much more close for me, but I have no special connection; the article is surely available online if one chooses to find it, back then there was no internet- so it was just a dogged reporter finding the truth of what really happened to the Crew and their remains. <br />the film was mostly 35mm rolls coming into my work station and that was more than I had seen on TV- i was not glued to the media as i am now. I did save a few of one guys photos for myself- they were extra or test prints- which I normally would never do as a Artist and Photographer myself- but since they were off the TV i figured or rationalized a handful of 3x5's of all that would not infringe on anyone (except the TV station) and i have not looked at them in years. Yes its hard to see the footage - ESPECIALLY if you read that article - basically they did not die until the shuttle hit the water, and I do not think writing the rest here is what people want to know... I hope you can figure out what I am saying?<br />So a few years ago when the other shuttle burned up on a bad re-entry over TX that was sadly frightening..<br />Its kind of like understanding that Lee Harvey Oswald could Never have - in 'the laws of Physics' fired that weapon at JFK nor had the outcome the GOV wanted that generation of our parents and Grandparents were told to believe - same here we need to feel better not knowing how these crews really died. sorry to rant on..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742321392029290733.post-59405797271050306682011-01-28T23:56:17.841-06:002011-01-28T23:56:17.841-06:00Sorry I mean, "very touching"-- it was h...Sorry I mean, "very touching"-- it was hard to watch this footage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742321392029290733.post-53229980851840999492011-01-28T23:55:01.952-06:002011-01-28T23:55:01.952-06:00Do you mean to say the remains of the dead were fo...Do you mean to say the remains of the dead were found, or some metal, or the ship, and were brought quietly into the state? What do you make of that?<br />Are you a photographer? What kinds of film were you processing? What was it like in Florida?

Lauderdale in the dark of night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
