Space Shuttle Endeavor, 1995
Posted by: | Comments
I drove for three hours across Florida one night in 1995 — spent five minutes photographing this launch of Space Shuttle Endeavor — and then drove back to continue covering Phillies spring training again the next morning. There were 135 Space Shuttle missions between 1981 and 2011 — including two disasters, both of which I covered — but this experience was worth the trip. The earth shook in a ways that words cannot satisfactorily describe. You could just drive up to the beach and watch it.

Loved ones lost

I have only seen this happen after the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina: Evacuees from New Orleans left messages for missing loved ones on a bulletin board inside the makeshift shelter at the Astrodome in Houston a few days after the hurricane struck in 2005.
