Busting a myth:
Israel did not photograph the Columbia Space Shuttle exploding
 
   Summary:
 
    An email is circulating that contain photographs that are claimed to be NASA space shuttle Columbia exploding over Texas upon re-entry as taken by an Israeli spy satellite. The photographs in the email are not real. The photos are actually scenes created for Armageddon, a science fiction movie.

   Additionally, NASA determined that the Columbia disaster started from the leading edge of the wing, and that Columbia disintegrated over hundreds of miles over Texas, and not as a sudden explosion in the tail section as illustrated.

Photos included in the fake email:
 
 
 
 
 
 
In conclusion, the photos have nothing to do with the actual Columbia shuttle explosion and should not be forwarded as reality.

COLUMBIA SHUTTLE EXPLOSION:

   The following pictures are photos taken of the Columbia explosion from an Israeli satellite in space . They were sent to me by a friend who works for the government. He received them from a friend of ! his from the justice dep't. He wrote the following in his e-mail.

   "Just in case you get a bit woozy looking at these, I apologize up front for the photos below. They are sequential pictures of the Shuttle Explosion, taken from an Israeli Satellite in space. They were taken....obviously, just as the Shuttle began to explode over the Earth." Provided by a person in the Justice Department.

   NOTE: IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO DOWNLOAD THEM, SO BE PATIENT. THEY ARE BEST VIEWED WITH FULL SCREEN
