watch the launch live.
When the explosion happened, all I could think of was the proud families there to watch their loved ones go into space and the immeasurable horror of watching helplessly as they perished.
THEN:
the news cameras focused their attention on the faces of the grief stricken families...unable to look away...I had never been as angry with nameless, faceless NEWS than I was at that moment, I realized that ratings were worth more to them than compassion. The pictures of the explosion would have been horrific enough...but those faces. :cry:
