Summary
| Description |
English: On Feb. 1, 2003, two Dutch[1] pilots were training on an AH-64D Longbow Apache helicopter out of Fort Hood, Texas when they witnessed and recorded with the attack helicopter’s onboard camera the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrating on its way back to Kennedy Space Center at the end of the STS-107 mission. In the days after the disaster, one of the pilots took the original classified tape film to NASA employees staged at Barksdale AFB, where they were allowed to record segments of the film for their investigation.[2] Video from NASA's recording was later released to the public on February 12, 2003.[3] This image is a screenshot from a re-uploaded version of that recording posted on YouTube in 2008. |

"The pilot of an Apache helicopter, who was returning to Fort Hood from a night training mission when Columbia broke up, recorded a particularly important video. Seeing unusual streaks in the sky ahead of him, the pilot trained his targeting cameras on the smoke trails. Realizing later that he had witnessed Columbia's disintegration, he personally drove the tape to Barksdale and played it for Dave Whittle and our leadership team. The tape itself was classified, but he allowed us to record portions of the video showing the breakup."
