How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Don't they have a soyuz thing as an emergency escape vehicle?
Space station astronauts arrive and depart via three-person Russian Soyuz spacecraft. One of these remains at the station at all times, specifically as an escape pod.
Since there are only three astronauts on the space station at any given time, all three could evacuate via a Soyuz craft, even without a visiting space shuttle.
So you can all sleep well tonight.
PS for thoese who dont know - these Soyuz sapcecraft are pretty tiny and cramped (Ive been inside a mockup Soyuz)
Actually, the ISS now runs with a full crew of six. But there is two Soyuz craft.
