I have my own strange connection to the Chicago accident. I was an on-duty
operator for a USAF missile launch detection satellite which operated in the IR
spectrum. We detected the heat from the crash.

Are you saying anything you shouldn't?

Yes, but the exact monitoring capabilities of satellites may not be
