I am betting that at least one person who say the shuttle come apart will try to sue NASA for "Mental Anguish(sp)" Or some equally stupid reason.

What are your theories on the stupid lawsuits people will bring about over this.?

Wreckage hitting a house. Sueing for damages.

That one I could ALMOST understand if the insurance company didn't pay for it.
However I dont' see a lawsuit needed there. I think NASA would make good on it for the PR aspect.

Whenever there is an accident of any kind, there will ALWAYS be some asshat who tries to make money from the accident from a lawsuit, justified or not.

I don't think you'll see anything like that from the families. However it's well my expectations that some jerk could try to sue for a piece of the ship hitting his lawn or something stupid like that.

I could see someone affected by the wreckage doing it, but the families have been outstandingly supportive of NASA and I don't see anything like that coming from that quarter, unless it's someone distantly related.

I don't see the families doing it either.
However I can see some Soccer mom who was on her front pourch with little Suzy, sueing because of the Deep emotional scars she suffered from seeing the event. And of course little Suzy will never be the same again, that is worth another 10 mil or so.

Any wreckage hitting the house would be covered under homeowners insurance. Unless they classify celestial objects striking the ground (Yeah, it's celestial still. ) as "Acts of god" which 99.99% of policies don't cover.

Most judges would throw out the case anyway. Or at least cap the amount rewarded to under 100,000.

I was curious about that and checked. To my horror it would not. They said it would be considered outside neglegance(sp?) and fall under thier "arson" clause. Meaning simply until a reason is found they dont have to do anything. Then once it is found, (nasa would have done it in this case)the person causing the damage pays not my insurance company. Not very reassuring!!!

MSNBC spelling some black guy named Niger as Nigger > CNN messing up on the speed of the shuttle!
You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Is that photoshopped? I've seen CNN misspell names of countries on their maps, but a mistake like that seems a little hard to swallow.

Unless the guy working those little messages was trying to be cute.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

My guess is yes -- The edges of the word LIGHT are a lot sharper than the other words.

Any of our Zen Photoshop Masters concur?

Now that you mention it... Light does seem ever-so-slightly different.

Bah, I was hoping CNN really was that stupid.

I'm hardly a Zen Photoshop master, I don't even have photoshop, but if you look, the "L" is slightly crooked, It's photoshopped, I'll wager.
