English term or phrase: wreck
But there was a twist to the tragedy, for as it turned out, two senior spacecraft engineers had spent six hours the previous day with NASA officials, pleading with them to delay the launch because they feared the rockets might malfunction in the unusual, below-freezing cold. For years thereafter, at least one of the two men, Roger Boisjoly, a senior engineer at Morton Thiokol, was a wreck. He walked away from Thiokol and, since corporate America dislikes a whistle-blower, struggled for years to find meaningful work.

agree  Bruno Parga: Sigam a lógica... se o líder do campeonato pega o lanterna em casa, a lógica é que ganhe. Vai dar lógica este fim de semana no Atlético x Botafogo. Ah, e prefiro "na pior". Sugestões como "arruinado, destroçado" soam subjetivas, e o "wreck" aí é objetivo.
