Rocket Science - The Space Shuttle

I'm not certain what the source of of this sequence is any more, I must have found it online somewhere a long time ago. It's a sequence of the Space Shuttle blowing up. It appears to be the 2003 Columbia disaster when the shuttle disintegrated upon re-entry. (The other disaster was the 1986 Challenger mission which exploded after launch due to the failure of an o-ring between sections of the solid booster).

There is not a page for each image, but if you click on any thumbnail below you can view it full sized.
