This article is quite scary. I am suprised that I haven't seen this on any dedicated space web sites. :jawdrops:

Old news. This was over a year ago and caused by a miscalculation in the mass distribution of the ISS.

Sorry about that

That must have been awesome, tough.

Like the scene from Contact, where the capsule is shaking violently, than she releases the restrains keeping her in the char, then all of a sudden she is floating calmly in the capsule, while everything is shaking itself apart. It was so amazing to see that, very surreal.
