today marks the fourth anniversary of the columbia shuttle exploding during re-entry. the only mention of it i found was on
this article about the space station. nothing on cnn.com. or foxnews. or msnbc. nothing. it makes me really sad. only four years and we've forgotten that seven people died when their space shuttle blew up around them on their way home. for those of us that were there, who were shaken out of bed as the explosion rumbled through the air to the ground over the course of a few minutes, who found pieces of the shuttle around our apartment complex, our university, our town, and who helped the national guard, state troopers, and nasa personnel search for and recover the debris, it's especially disheartening that no one seems to remember this day. but i do. i remember.
