The space shuttle, Columbia's tragedy à Flags lowered to half-staff à Special services 日本語)

On Saturday, February 1, we were shocked by the news that the space shuttle, Columbia broke apart and killed the seven astronauts on board. We deeply mourn the death of the crew. Flags were lowered to half-staff immediately after the accident (as shown in a photo). On Sunday, churches across the nation did special services for this loss. We hope that the cause of the incident will be made clear and this kind of a tragedy will not happen again.
