The shuttle Columbia's launch attempt was just scrubbed. A hydrogen
leak caused a concentration of more than 1000 ppm in the aft
compartments. Values of 2275 ppm were measured. Values are currently
less than 1500 ppm, but the mission is scrubbed for tonight.

At the present time it is unknown what will happen.
