Re: Future of Space Shuttles - How could the Space Shuttles be used?

The roof of a hanger holding some of the parts for the buran and its boosters collapsed while being repaired. One buran and some energia peices were in it at the time of the collapse. Hopefully no important information or parts needed for energia production was in the hanger. I assume all the stuff will be at least damaged and quite likely destroyed, or will be destroyed or damaged in the process of salvaging and repairing the hangar. Eight workers who were on the roof are missing presumed dead.
Space.com has the article.
