To the disappointment of Taco Bell gourmands across the United States, the falling Mir space station failed to hit the corporate target floating in the South Pacific. Russian space command was not surprised, as the bull's eye bell was tethered about 15 km off the Australian coast, thousands of kilometers west of the projected impact zone. More fortunately, the rain of flaming debris also failed to strike the many albacore boats fishing off the coast of Chile. A number of American trawler captains had been alerted to the possibility that unpleasant souvenirs might litter their decks. To the fishermen's relief, only photographs and memories remain. You can view both of these photos in color on the TVS website (see page 2).
