Saturday morning, the
Space
Shuttle
Columbia
broke up during re-entry.

True space pioneers, they were, left to right,

As debris from the shuttle may be
toxic,
NASA asks that
anything found be reported immediately to local authorities and not touched.
For the safety of future missions, investigations into the
cause of the tragedy are underway.
If you have any video or photographs that may aid in these
investigations,
NASA asks that you please see
