"Preliminary reports by Williamson County officials said a small aircraft went down, but officials now say it's likely just space debris from two satellites crashing. The Federal Aviation Administration said Sunday that it has received numerous reports across Texas of falling debris, which could be related to a recent U.S.-Russian satellite collision. FAA spokesman Roland Herwig said officials suspect the debris could be related to the collision, but he said that had not been confirmed."

How did this wind up in "Hot Topics" with only 4 replies?

WTF is "hot topics"? Did you try to make a funny with your clever pun?

Left side of the screen, TWW main page lists the 10 "hottest" topics on the board. I didn't chose "Hot Topics" that is what the screen says.


I'm not above a pun, I do happen to be above that pun. It would be an astronomically bad pun.
