US Space Shuttle Missing - Worst Feared

The Space Shuttle Columbia has been missing since 14:00 GMT with loss of radar and communication contact. They fear the worst now with evidence the shuttle may have broken up over Texas.

It's very tragic, very sad...

It looks really bad now - Sky News through the Fox News feed is showing multiple trails high up in the Texas sky, suggesting the Shuttle has broken up. Very sad...

The Shuttle was carrying the first Israeli astronaut and there was a lot of security all the way up to blast-off. At those extreme heights of re-entry back from space it is hard to imagine anything sophisticated enough to hit it with such accuracy, or does someone have better information?

Anyway, it is tragic for the astronauts and their families.
