    If you're a broadcaster at this moment you have to be sure — you can't be the person out in front of a false report — and that pressure must have been extraordinary in this case.

    Broadcast TV journalists were such stone-cold professionals, back in the day. Just listen to the professionalism in his voice, and in the mission control announcers at the key moment, even as they must have instantly understood the awful truth. Impossible to conceive today's journalists focusing on doing their jobs, and leaving the reactions to the viewers.

    This was awful. I was 14 watching with my twonolder brothers and Mom. I knew immediately it exploded but we all looked at each and said did that just happen. Think if this daily and feel so sorry for all involved. So tragic.

    I am delivering a sermon to you šŸ™šŸ˜Š please read

    Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hellĀ  (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better.
    And addressing/thanking the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea.
    Be my friend and I will pray for you, but I do not know how much help me doing so will give you. You should try to practice daily prayer yourself.
    I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD šŸ™

    Amen.

    I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is 😊

    ''Ā Ā  CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD,
    Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen.Ā  ''

    Please say this at least once a day for at least a month, do it longer if you want to and can šŸ™

    You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both šŸ™šŸ˜Š Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol.

    Please put your hands together šŸ™šŸ™ bow your head and say this prayer:
    "CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen"

    Say '  Om Namah Shivaya  ' or '  Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya  ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times 😊 try to do it everyday if you want

    repeat this aloud for as long as you want to, try to do it for like an hour a day or say it in a prayerĀ  "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner"

    You can also say this prayer once a day or repeat it aloud as many times as you would like to:
    "Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen."

    Thessalonians 5:16-18
    "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

    Philippians 4:6-7
    "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

    "O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!"Ā Ā  Repeat this aloud at least 3 times or as many as you want, do it everyday if you can

    I apologize for all the words 😊 I know how it may look

    If you can't remember the words to any prayer, pray the words as you read them

    Write…"when astronauts rise from the dead" into YouTube, I think you might be left with one or two major questions and doubts if you have a single independent brain cell in your head…..

    If this happened today CNN would be bending over backwards to try and blame this on Republicans and Donald Trump
