Space Shuttle over Burbank!

Ack! They've discontinued the old Blogger interface and now I'm trying to use the new one.  But anyway... what a day!!

Like many people all over the state of California, Derek and I got to see the Space Shuttle Endeavour as it flew over Burbank!  We weren't prepared with our better camera, so here are Derek's cell phone pics.

We were going to head to Griffith Park, but realized there wasn't time, so we joined an enthusiastic crowd on the Olive Avenue freeway overpass.  It  was really, really amazing.


The gang at Derek's office got to see it, too, as it flew right over the Disney studio lot. Fortunately Brent was on the scene, so here's a movie! Thanks, Brent!  

Derek shot a movie, too, on the freeway overpass. I'll upload it if I can figure out how to do it.

As of 1:15 PM, we're hearing from lots of people who got to see the shuttle... we would love to hear your stories and see pictures!  Be sure to post in Comments!

UPDATE 1:35 PM 9/21/12:
Here's Derek's movie!

And here's a great picture from Mary!

Sepulveda Fire: EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE

Special thanks to Brent, who from his sickbed at home just shot this footage of a Super-Scooper plane on its way to attack the fire currently burning at Sepulveda and the 405 freeway:

Brent just informed us that he could hear the Super Scoopers at his house and waited outside to film one, but it was taking too long, so eventually he just gave up and went in and filmed this off of his TV.

So far no injuries or structure damage... stay tuned to the AFB for full coverage as special international and disaster correspondent Brent stands by to take actual footage of the actual plane whenever it passes over his house.
