This caused the second piece to catch up to the first and impact with it knocking it down. When the third piece caught up with the second it glanced off at about a 60 degree angle upward and went back into space. The 2nd piece also continued on in space. Only the first piece fell to earth.<< :O) GeoZay Received on Tue 25 May 2010 11:24:36 AM PDT |
