NASA is still seeking help from
the American public to supply video and still images of the Space Shuttle
Columbia on its return flight to Earth. There has been a great public
response, but more material will help the investigation of the Columbia
accident.
Columbia glided across the western U.S. just before sunrise Saturday,
February 1. The Shuttle flew just north of San Francisco around 5:50
a.m. PST and broke up over eastern Texas around 8:00 a.m. CST. Any imagery,
especially video, of the Shuttle's path might aid the Columbia Accident
Investigation Board in determining the cause of the accident. Media and private citizens who have video or still images of Columbia’s
entry path are encouraged to send it to investigators. Videotapes and
photos can be returned upon request. These materials will not be released
to the media without the submitter's permission. For more information
call: Johnson Space Center Emergency Operations Center (Phone: 281/483-3388) Mail videotapes to: Email digital images to: columbiaimages@nasa.gov
