You know, it's almost funny.
As a nation, we are so incredibly conceited that we can't accept failure, it has to be negligence.
There's a reason why they are called "accidents".

"As a nation, we are so incredibly conceited that we can't accept failure, it has to be negligence" Don't know that I'd call it conceit. But I have given this some thought today. It seems to be the rush to find the blame, to point fingers. Where did that come from? Did it come from a culture of lawyers looking for a lawsuit?

What else is incredible is that some people can't make up their minds what they believe and stick to it.
Sort of like Weebles.

Accident. That is what I am thinking too Luis. People are playing the blame game already before anyone even knows what happened. I don't believe NASA would have sent the shuttle up defective in the first place, or that they would ignore a real problem like the incident at launching if they knew it was dangerous.
Accidents do happen. It is terrible, but true.

I gather that the large fuel storage tank is just used one time. Didn't they recycle them in the past? Is there any chance they will try to recover this tank?
