For my fellow DU aviators (Aspen Crash Update)

New video from five airport cameras capture different angles of the Challenger jet crash at KASE earlier this month. The video from camera five shows the jet hit the runway hard, bounce back in the air about thirty feet, and then crash to the runway.

The first time they touched down? There's a bright flash, then they bounce.

They really didn't stand an ice-cube's chance in a barbeque, did they. Poor sods.
