JV (fellow cow-orker) and I were watching Mir crash into the South Pacific on
CNN [1] tonight. Simply amazing—150 tons of metal screaming into the ocean.
It was dropping at about 720 miles per hour (dropping, as in loosing altitude
laterally it was moving way faster than than).

It must have been some sight as it streaked across Fuji.
