God can you imagine knowing all this and watching the Columbia reentry? Knowing that these things can fail so catastrophically and just seeing it burn apart and just thinking "... I was right."

A similar situation happened with the Challenger as well. There was a couple engineers who were worried about the O rings that failed BEFORE they actually failed and killed the Challenger crew.
