The rocket and the satellite were obliterated. ...
A friend who was there went back to his hotel room only to find the hotel with all the glass blown out, some walls down, and the satellite flight computer in his room.


If he found the computer in his room it obviously wasn't obliterated. This is a key piece of information. Was sensitive equipment found intact or not? What right do you have to criticize the media when you can't write two sentences without contradicting yourself?

Mr Adrenaline,
Nice to hear from you again. I searched the web for the MPEG of the accident but could not find it, however I did find a still shot of the failed launch.

I also found some other links about the crash written back in 1996 that may be of interest.
