Columbia. Visible on the tapes: at least five explosions and a huge one, before she breaks apart.
Remarkable body structure, but a crack is enough...
It may take years.

Folks, really, we've just had a national tragedy take place. Can the bickering stop for a bit out of respect for the brave astronauts who lost their lives?

It’s a tragedy. I feel for the families’ involved. I mourn for each of the individuals.

Three months ago my best friend’s seventeen-year-old daughter died in an auto accident driving home from school at 3:30 PM in the afternoon. No one here stopped bickering out of respect for this tragedy.

Can you explain why this current situation requires a stop to bickering when lives are snuffed out every day of the year, seriously what’s the difference here?
