Columbia - Disintegrating Shuttle and Falling Engines

On the 1st of February, 2003, U.S. Apache-Helicopter crews were training with foreign pilots.  Gun-camera footage, from that mission, reveals Columbia entering the atmosphere over Central Texas.

This rare footage depicts the shuttle's disintegration.  At the end of the video, we see Columbia's three engines falling to Earth.

Fort Hood, and the U.S. Department of Defense released this video a few days after the disaster.
