I was watching a CNN video today that showed amateur video of the Challenger disaster. The interview made the point that immediate video is so common now with camera phones that the novelty of this is really unique. Now anyone can whip out their iphones to record footage, but 26 years ago it was so rare. The narrator's voice was so excited to see Christa McAuliffe lift into space, and then so saddened after the explosion. Seems like yesterday.
Just after that, there was a video of Junior Seau's mother upon learning of her son's suicide. It was frankly too troubling to watch. The deep grief, the sorrow...ugh. Some tragic footage to piece together.
Anyway, no real point other than the fact that we all share in this kind of grief, and prayers are for those difficult days ahead.
