If someone I loved was killed in a car accident and nothing to speak of remained of that loved one, would I collect car debris and savor that? Hell NO! I'd be spending time with loved ones, talking about the PERSON and depedning on where I was in the grief process, I might be looking at photos. This is the NORMAL way to honor a deceased person - NOT getting off on car debris from the accident or in this situation shuttle debris. WAKE UP! Have some respect for the PEOPLE killed instead of shuttle parts.

If someone I loved were killed in a car wreck, and I didn't know why, I would be comforted that people were assembling clues and keeping records. I would be pleased that bystanders were guarding the wreckage until the police arrived.

No one is venerating the wreckage in lieu of the people who lost their lives. The bystanders who leave flowers at wreckage sites are simply trying to express respect.

Please try and look at things from this point of view. Thank you.

I think some people cope with tragic accidents by trying to understand what happened. They may be even able to help keep this from happening again. It takes away some of the feelings of helplessness. Its therapeutic for these people and its normal. Humor us please.

I think you should have some respect for yourself and others by leaving this thread. You are getting worked up over nothing, and that's not healthy.

You are ONE sick person. Leave the thread now!! Everybody here is kind and thoughtful EXCEPT YOU!

I don't see any family members out there, do you?

You seem to have some issues with the way the rest of us mourn our loss -- because WE did have a loss, too.

Your analogy doesn't work.
