FYI everyone.

The picture in question is a found picture. I have been unable to track down the originator of this particular image to thank him or her. If I do I will post their email so that you can thank them too.

which images are you talking about toasty?

i created the banner which you posted here (i have the photoshop file).. ted posted in the cic the core graphics which i used to create the file.. so if you thank me.. you need to thank father ted as well for providing the core elements.

just my way of grieving and honoring our heroes.

TY, ToastyO.  This is a very nice way to pay tribute to the crew of Columbia.

I've put this tribute on my webpage's index page- we will always remember the heroes who died, the Columbia Seven.

I made this painting in memory of Ilan Ramon, one of the fallen, which you can learn more about at http://www.spanishcastle.com/petrandilan.html

It has an interesting story behind it.

I am trying to understand why ppl are so inclined to place these sigs on their profile.  I mean I do feel bad about their deaths but mostly they were doing their job.  I have always wonder what makes this different from a plane crash.  When  a plane crashes most of the time the media will not go into the home of the crew and find out their reactions.  Also ppl that are just passengers going to a job dont get talked about unless they are local to that TV station.  So why are they different.  I have also noticed that most officers and emergency personal who are killed in the line of duty are not really talked about with their families or really no more than a passing saying on the news.  I wonder to when the war with Iraq breaks out and American soliders die will the media go to their families homes and ask them if we should continue the war just like we asked about the space program.  So can somebody try to explain to me whats the difference between these ppl and the other ones that were doing their jobs too?

Not sure what's up folks. Seems my site went down yesterday at about 5pm PDT. I have sent off a hot email to my provider but as of yet have not gotten a responce.

Almost feels like the epic Taldren/Activision struggle.

It's a matter of how nationally important it is and the rarity of the event.  Airplanes are flown every day, so if one of them goes down yes it's a tragedy but shortly forgotten about.  People involved in military incidents have the same situation.  Things can go wrong and a chopper crashes and all aboard are killed, but how many times have military personnel flown choppers.  Every day, I'd imagine.  People die in car accidents all the time, but people don't post banners in rememberance of them unless they knew the person personally or the victim was a prominent figure.  What we're talking about it a desensitizing issue.  Contrast all these examples to the Columbia and it's crew.  A shuttle goes up only four times a year with a small crew each time,  Not only that, but they're going somewhere that we personally will  probably never get to in our lifetime.  That's why I believe the situation hits us a little harder than the previous examples.  The rarity and sensitivity of the event.

Just my thoughts.
