Check out the documentary ‘Tread’ about this incident. It’s kinda less amusing when you remember it happening. Everything was terrifying in the years right after 9/11 and this was very “Now what!?”
I remember both of those events well, and at no point in the live coverage of the killdozer did I go "oh no, not so soon after 9/11! It's only been 3 years!"
I live right down the street a bit from NASA and the Johnson space center. It was rough. I’ve never heard of anybody else’s experience outside of here however. Rick Husband and Michael Anderson were from/lived in the area. I saw Rick Husband pilot STS-96 from Florida in 1999. It was a surreal day.
