- _Microft 6y agoVery cool, that matches it. According to Wolfram Alpha, 7:55 a.m. Atlantic Standard Time is 11:55 UTC.
- est31 6y agoThere is a small difference of 3 minutes, but the NSF wording has an "approximately". I guess their priority was to get an initial report out and not precisely determine when it collapsed. I think that a final report on the incident will contain the 12:52 figure instead of the 12:55 one. Anyways, that's just splitting hairs. Glad that nobody got hurt. This incident is obviously a tragedy.
