We all know on this list that machines can fail...sometimes
catastrophically. Columbia was an old ship and pushed to the limit
with every launch and re-entry. It's a very sad thing, my heart goes
out to the families of the crew. Though they plied the heavens, not
the seas, I think this applies.
THEY THAT GO DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS, that do business in great
waters; These see the
works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth,
and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They
mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul
is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like
a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto the
LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then
are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their
desired haven.
Psalms, 107:23-30
