(NYT39) BETWEEN NACOGDOCHES AND ST. AUGUSTINE, Texas -- Feb. 13, 2003 -- SHUTTLE-PRAYERS -- The people in East Texas feel lucky. Or, more specifically, blessed. Thousands of pieces of flaming wreckage rained down on them on Feb. 1, 2003, when the space shuttle Columbia ripped apart in the upper reaches of the atmosphere. A chunk the size of a truck axle landed in downtown Nacogdoches. Another piece fell on the sheriff's front lawn. Somehow, no one was hurt. Marquees around the region spell out the feelings of gratitude, relief and empathy, in front of churches, schools, McDonald's and Wendy's. Some signs may be missing letters. But the message is clear. The seven astronauts, including the Israeli, were Texans. They trained in Houston. They died in the skies above. For that, they are family. A message "Thanking God" in Nacogdochdes on Route 259, Feb. 1, above, and a church message on Route 21 between Nacogdoches and St. Agustine, Texas, Feb. 1, 2003, below.
