Exclamation Soyuz's Troubled Reentry

Is there no thread about this yet? I'm surprised. James Oberg has written an article about it. Here's a quote:

Quote:
7 May 2008—What should have been a routine return from the International Space Station (ISS) on 19 April 2008 quickly turned into a heart-stopping drama for ground controllers and the three astronauts aboard a Soyuz TMA-11.
I found a link to Oberg's article in the BA's blog. There were also a couple of UT stories by Fraser:
