oh no! the genesis crashed!

well, they did know it was coming, but the helicopter stunt man was supposed to snag the parachute. but the chute didn't open! what a mess! :(

the samples were held on sheets of diamond and crystal and glass and stuff, not in tanks, from what i hear. so they may have been shattered, but "may be able to be pieced back together".
