The tragedy of February 1, 2003 will not be soon forgotten. Many have speculated about video existing during the final break up of Columbia while others wonder what the crew was going through.

I wondered on to the Freedom Of Information Act Request section of a NASA web site relating the the Columbia Accident and have, unfortunately found what does sound like a panic-stricken transmission. A short "yelp" followed by "popping" noises and then the panic filled transmission. More popping and static ending with a transmission from Rick Husband, "And Houston..." Even more disturbing is the part not heard on other NASA videos that the crew reported flight control problems.

Since this is audio on a very particular audio loop in mission control, it does not contain the absolute final message, "Roger, uhhhh..."

The original 58 minute audio loop (shown by the GMT stamp on intro) is no longer available from NASA but they did have this condensed version which is othwerwise uncut or altered except for volume and the removal of the last 15 or so seconds which has nothing on it at all.

Help is appreciated if anybody can understand the panic transmission. I would like to get it annotated for all.

    just before tire pressure warning, it sounded like he said "feeling that heat"

    It sounds like it, but it's actually ""And, uh, Hou(ston)...". The full phrase can be found used earlier in the full recording, and if you edit it there's no doubt. It sounds exactly like 'feelin' the heat'. But it isn't.

    Kelvari, I doubt it. The Challenger crew were still alive when they hit the water and the capsul trying to be controlled as much as possible by crew but at that altitude and speeds the impact is far too great for survival

    Soyuz can only carry three. Besides any space mission takes countless months to plan and execute. If it were that easy, it would have been done.

    It also sounds as though he has the mic keyed as the craft tore itself apart. I can't imagine anything worse at that speed and altitude. I only hope it was quick for them. RIP Columbia crew.
