The Challenger accident was proverb

 The Challenger accident was a wake-up call in many ways. The tragedy of losing a crew was bad enough, but losing civilians and a teacher who had been selected and prepared for the mission, was an even more tragic loss.

 It was a wake-up call, losing three games. We really got focused and prepared well for the tournament.

 I think us losing to JSU was a big wake-up call. ... I honestly don't think that will happen again. I don't think we will lose energy anymore, because that was a big loss and it hurt us really, really bad.

 We know these guys. It's very tragic. It's about losing customers. But this is a very interesting case. There have been absolutely zero allegations about anything to do with the aircraft. No one is arguing that the airplane was culpable in this tragic accident.

 All my life, ... I have been preoccupied with the great tragedy of losing family in wars. The pain of losing a parent or a child in (an act of) violence that is purposefully and directly generated by political forces is in a certain way harder to bear than if someone dies in, say, an accident. The death feels more preventable.

 I think the crew of the Challenger would be so pleased to see what has come out of that tragedy.

 Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.
  Joe Paterno

 This is a tragedy. This is, I mean losing your home, losing everything that you've got, everything that the kids have got. I mean it's bad.

 The time it has taken me to present this testimony is about the same amount of time that transpired between when mission control first notice anomalies in temperature measurements and the accident, ... I just paused for a few seconds, that is the same amount of time that transpired from mission controls last communication with the crew and our loss of signal with the heroic Columbia astronauts.

 You want to finish the season with a win, not a loss. It's different when you finish with a win. There's a lot of positives you can bring from that. When you go out with a loss, losing is losing and it doesn't feel good.

 That was the true tragedy of Challenger. Nothing was learnt. Only janitors and cafeteria workers at NASA were blameless in the deaths of the Challenger seven. Columbia was a repeat of Challenger, where people had a known design problem and launched anyway.

 This was a slugfest; a street fight, ... If you're waiting for me to say it was a good loss, you won't hear that here. Losing is losing. There are no moral victories.

 That was our first NCL loss. It's not just losing in the NCL. It's losing in general. That lost might have been an awakening for some people.

 I can't psychoanalyze why (Iraqi President) Saddam Hussein does what he does, but I can tell you this, ... It's smart for him to stop attacking our planes because he was losing a lot of equipment. He was losing radars. He was losing missiles. And he was losing air defense guns. And he was losing command and control facilities. So, if he wants to hold on to his equipment, he should stop attacking the patrols.
