[s-cars] Re: Shuttle Columbia

[chris chambers]

Unfortunately not everything in life is survivable.

When the astronauts were going mach 18 and the explosion took place,
there was no airbag, seatbelt etc. yet devised that could have saved
them. When they take off it is not much more than a controlled
explosion, when they return the temps are unbelievably high,
unfortunately when a problem occurs during this points in time there is
only so much that can be done.

With an explosion of that magnitude I feel safe in saying that we can
take solace in the fact that it was a quick end and they didn't suffer.

I may be wrong, but I hope that is the case.
