Gunfire at NASA?

[Idaho]

CNN.com is reporting gun shots at Johnson Space Center in Houston.

WTF is wrong with people.

 

[BTExpress]

I think it was just the shuttle simulator backfiring before takeoff.

Either that or Lisa Nowak decided to pay another visit to Colleen Shipman.

Now we know why the BT is the Express.
12 minutes to the Mowak reference.

I, too, was tempted to post a astronaut diaper reference, but not in this case.

 

[Pastor]

I don't like this news.

I won't begin to project how any of this happened, but I do know that some of the facilities, in an effort to make employees more comfortable, have shooting ranges on site. It is similar to having basketball courts or volleyball courts.

CNN now reporting that every SWAT team member in the City of Houston has been called to the scene, and a bunch of schools in the area have been locked down.

Whoever had April 2007 in the pool on when this country would lose it's ****ing mind, please come forward and claim your prize.

That doesn't sound good. Yikes.

CNN, naturally, is all over this.

One question - They've got news choppers over the site, how isn't the airspace above NASA closed?

April just appears to be a really bad month all around.

It isn't necessary on days when there are no launches.

 

[Idaho]

Aren't launches done in Florida, not Houston?

Launches are in Florida, but landings are in Houston.

NBC will receive a package tomorrow.

Pastor, there is something about this week in April every year (OKC, Columbine, VaTech, false alarms, threats, and now NASA) that is beginning to make everyone sick. April 19th and 20th (OKC and Columbine) brings the worse out of some people and the very worse of everything.

This was the first thought that entered my mind.

[Idaho]

I may be wrong - wouldn't be first time, won't be the last - but I thought landings were in Florida, too. Or in Calif when the weather was bad.

I thought Houston was just the training and control center.

It typically might be at the cape.

But Houston?

Landings are typically done in California. Edwards AFB. Or at the cape.

A couple have been at White Sands, New Mexico.

Something needs to happen on a large scale to promote mid-April as a time for positive change and action, instead of ceeding it over as some sort of hell week for every grudge-carrying psycho in this country.

It's not the entire month; seems to be focused on this portion of the month. Hitler's birthday is today. Wasn't the Waco episode 4/20 also? Columbine, OKC, now VT and this were all within a few days of 4/20. This looks to a good week to barricade yourself in your home with lots of Chef Boy-Ar-dee.

Well, looks like the rapture is upon us. Glad I went to confession earlier this month. I'll see all of you on the other side -- well, maybe not all of you.
