Los Angeles, Alta California - February 3, 2003 - (ACN) In a bizarre and eery coincidence, small pieces of human remains rained over the beautiful village of Palestine, Texas soon after the Shuttle Columbia disintegrated over the state. Mrs. Patricia Hernandez, who found some of the remains, was traveling in her vehicle back to Palestine from a funeral in Houston when she noticed a fire in the sky. She heard a loud noise and "felt an intense rumbling like an earthquake." After arriving home, she noticed that two of her windows were broken, apparently from the sonic boom the Shuttle made in its ill fated re-entry into the atmosphere. In here backyard, she noticed her German Shepherd chewing on a small chunk of flesh she assumed was part of one of the astronauts.
Members of the Oklahoma Army National Guard are now in Palestine, Texas, to help secure and identify debris from the space shuttle Columbia. Spokeswoman Michelann Ooten says the 20 members of the 63rd Civil Support team were deployed during the night. She says they arrived in Palestine about 4:30 this morning where they'll help with recovery of items from the doomed shuttle.
Officials of NASA agreed to allow an Israeli Defense Forces expert to participate in the examination and identification process of the body parts found in the area. The IDF attache in the United States, Major General Moshe Ivri-Sukenik, said that he had stressed to NASA the significance Israel and the Jewish religion placed on the identification of the body parts of the Jewish Astronaut Ilan Ramon and his burial in Israel. Ivri-Sukenik said Israel wished to play an active role in the search and identification operation of body parts.
NASA reported yesterday that remains from all seven astronauts on the doomed shuttle Columbia have been found. NASA official Bob Cabana said on Sunday, "We found remains from all the astronauts". Cabana is the director of flight crew operations. "It's still in the process of identification," he added
Astronauts' remains have been found all the way from Palestine to Hemphill, Texas near the Louisiana state border. The Shuttle Columbia crew cabin had an upper and a lower level. The two women, the pilot and the commander rode in the upper level. The Israeli and the remaining two astronauts rode in the lower level. The three in the lower level most probably fell on the beginning of the debris area.
There is now much conjecture, because of the background of IDF Colonel Ilan Ramon and the nature of his mission on Shuttle Columbia, that the disaster is a message from God. Colonel Ramon participated in dropping bombs on Palestinian civilians and the killing of women and children. His mission on the Shuttle was of a military nature. About 75% of all Shuttle missions are military in nature. Whatever he was doing on the Shuttle must have been related to "biological warfare" or "nuclear weapons" because there is now a medical panic in eastern Texas where the debris fell.
Hospitals can not keep up with the number of people coming in with a "mysterious flu" after breathing the dust raining down on them. Emergency crews from the Palestine Fire Department set up a decontamination station behind Palestine Regional Medical Center (PRMC) in Palestine and the military has now moved in to quarantine the area. PRMC Director Lynn Scribner said the hospital’s EMTs were directing all people into the hospital through the main entrance. “We are trying to get all the people coming into the hospital in one place so we’ll know where to direct them,” Scribner said Saturday afternoon. “Those who have come within 200 feet of any material are asked to come to the hospital where they can be treated by emergency personnel.” Palestine Fire Department Emergency Management Coordinator Randall Shoulders said firefighters are scrubbing people down in a makeshift station and then bagging their clothes. “We have the personnel and the equipment out here in case someone has been contaminated,” Shoulders said. “We even have a Geiger counter ready.
In addition, eight people have been treated for burns and respiratory problems at San Augustine area hospitals according to Billy Smith who is an emergency management coordinator for three East Texas cities.
Dale Higginbotham, disaster relief chairman with the American Red Cross, said his agency was “standing ready” to help area residents in any way they can.
This is not the first time that an astronaut of Jewish descent has brought the Space Shuttle Program bad luck. On the only other Space Shuttle disaster, there was an American women of Jewish descent on the crew named Judith Resnick. In this tragedy that occurred on January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up soon after launching.
It is time for the American people to begin meditating about what USA policies in the Middle East are doing to the Palestinian people and about what George Bush is about to do to Iraqi civilians. There is a God! Many call him Dios and others call him Allah. Dios, Allah and God is the one supreme universal being, Creator of the entire universe. He does from time to time intervene in our affairs. He works in mysterious ways but always he gives signs.
The brilliant Christian "explorer of inner space" Carl Jung wrote of synchronicities in the lives of human beings and of the "collective unconscious". Synchronicities, according to Jung, are those pesky little "meaningful coincidences" that often occur during times of crisis. Perhaps the "meaningful coincidence" involving the Jewish astronaut and Palestine, Texas is a way of God talking to us.
