I don’t have a problem with it, as long as it was reasonably respectful. How many kids even know about the shuttle disaster now?
At least they have an opportunity to hear some of the incident when they wouldn’t otherwise hear anything about it at all.
Indeed the quote Beyonce made (at the end of the excerpt) seemed very respectful.
How many kids even know about the shuttle disaster now?
I have no idea. Though a couple years or so ago I ran across an article which showed the role of PowerPoint in the Challenger disaster. (similar article) — basically what happened was that the forces involved were so far outside the tested-parameters of their data that the tests were useless*, something that was glossed-over again and again as it went to higher and higher levels.
* If this were realized at those high-levels, there would have been a spacewalk to visually inspect the heat-shielding tiles before attempting re-entry.
Sorry. I don’t believe for one moment that this woman has ANY concern or grief for the crew or the American people who grieved on that day and for years afterward. She lives in a world that smirks, believes it’s okay as long as they spelled the name right—more sales—and then issues some kind of blather that is supposed to be an apology. This woman closed down an entire wing of a hospital maternity ward at the expense of other families who needed maternity services on the exact days she did so. Do you REALLY think that she has any apologetic intent in either situation?
Do you think Beyoncé herself knows anything about the shuttle disaster?
