Amounts to essentially the same. The O-rings failed to contain the gases. This is not a good thing in machinery. We master nature with our machines, which is fine so long as the machines don't get out of control. But the machines get out of control a lot. Guess we aren't all that good at mastering nature even if we do well from time to time.
I still say that two losses out of 112 for a vehicle as complicated as the Space Shuttle is damned good. If it was easy, everyone else would be doing it to right? ;-)
