[QUOTE="Hoju, post: 665763, member: 997"] I do feel for the families but the thing that drives me nuts it the giant media circus that will surround this. I'm sure many posthumous awards will be given and such but WHY is this such a big deal? I didn't see any posts here about the train wreck in Australia last week where innocent people were killed or the explosion at the pharmaceutical company, there are no posts about the dozens of missing prostitutes from Vancouver and the list goes on. In these cases you have innocent people who are killed by a tragic accident who were just trying to go about their lives and survive, where in the case of the shuttle crash, you have 7 people who knew the risks of their job and still chose to go. Yes I know that we expect this type of coverage from the media but it still drives me nuts when peoples hearts only bleed when the media tells us or "something big and cool blew up real good". Just think about it. [/QUOTE]
