That was an unexpected accident, not a reasonably foreseeable risk, and most importantly for this discussion it did not occur during a flight. When the shuttle launches the directors and the astronauts are taking many foreseeable deadly risks, significant risks, significant enough that it makes each shuttle launch the moral equivalent of russian roulette. Murder for one, suicide for the other.

Fire in a rocket is unexpected? They failed to identify and address the risk but it was certainly foreseeable.
