    When I observed the video replays, I noticed 2 to 3 distict bursts when it 
    started to break up and then multiple objects breaking off the shuttle as it 
    descended. So whatever part [conjecture BTW] broke first,could it have 
    started a chain reaction of massive depressurizations that caused the 
    orbiter to break apart?
    
    I know it's way too early to be starting armchair investigations, I just 
    wanted to report my observations to the SEE-SAT community and get some 
    insight to try and figure out why such a horrific event occured in Manned 
    Spaceflight.
    
    Maybe we, as dedicated satellite observers may help NASA out with our 
    observations. Just some thoughts from a shocked,horrified and upset space 
    buff.
    
    May God be with the lost crew,their families, NASA and the world. Amen.
    
    
    
    Sincerely,
