What it must be like to say goodbye to your family in their situation. "See you in about 10 days, bye" ?

After the Challenger explosion they know this could happen. Every time I fly I think about the plane crashing. I know it's unlikely and it doesn't stop me from flying but it does cross my mind for a fleeting moment.

I can only imagine the families farewells. It's scary as shit.
