    Because it's cool to be incinerated instantly, but being burned to death and then having your body plummet 19 miles before hitting the ground is terribly sad.

    It takes hours to incinerate a corpse in a crematorium, what made you think it'd happen instantly inside Columbia? It rained little bits and pieces of crew and spaceship all over the countryside. They just found the israeli guys diary on the roof of an outhouse in Kentucky a few days ago.

    I was wrong and I now have deep sorrow for these individuals.

    Sorrow? These guys were so pumped up full of adrenaline in a explosive free fall... god damn what a rush that must of been.

    If I have to die, that's got to be one of the more exciting ways to go.
