Good Morning America

Had a retired NASA engineer on the air this morning. I think Diane Sawyer thought she was going to get a "smoking gun" statement from him. The guy, whose name I have forgotten, claimed to have told President Bush that the shuttle was an accident waiting to happen. No elaboration on what his concerns were other than lack of escape mechanisms for the crew. During the interview, he admitted that it probably would have been impossible for the crew to escape at the altitude where the accident happened in any circumstance. So, nothing was gained from his insite. The blame game has already started and there are many who will try to pin it on President Bush.
