Rest In Peace to them all.
And isn’t it great that a spoiled pod like Beyonce can use the announcement of the tragedy in one of her ear numbing screech fests? She has no soul.
Pieces
There are so many inaccurate statements in this video. First of all, Apollo 11 was 16 1/2 years before the Challenger disaster not 11 years. The Identified remains of the Challenger crew were in fact returned to their families and buried separately. IT WAS THE Unidentified remains were buried together at Arlington.
They are all still alive and well,The challenger blew up but no one was onboard
@@patrickgolla How do you know that? I’ve heard this before but nobody seems to have any proof of the claim.
I was 10 years old and remember how excited the teachers and classmates were. I remember sitting down on the floor in a classroom was glued to the tv. I could hear the teachers in the back of the room talking about how cool it was for a teacher to be on the shuttle. Liftoff of the shuttle began and everyone was clapping and cheering to the point my teacher told us to settle down. Shortly after the shuttle exploded (We had no idea what had happened until later) a teacher ran to the tv and turned it off and then I saw a few teachers begin to cry. When I got home I remember my mom and dad telling us the shuttle exploded and the Astronauts passed away. I remember nothing so vividly after that day until 9/11 happened.
I was 10 as well I still remember it well
Every teacher turned the tv off.
My story is almost identical, except I was only 9, & in 2nd grade. We listened to the lift-off on the Ms. Reser's weather radio. After the "throttle-up" we went back to the books. A short while later, we heard erie sounds of sniffles & weeping. A few homeRoom mothers gathered at the back & very little was said. We didn't hear what happened until lunch. Looking back, I appreciate the way they handled it. We love you, Ms. Christa McCuliffe. & Thank You for your service, Challenger Crew
Those poor children that had gathered in the school cafeteria to watch what they thought was the most exciting time for their teacher. 🙏
Oh 😳 WOW, I REMEMBER THAT. WATCHED IT LIVE, IN THE CLASSROOM.😭
I was in headstart. I had just turned 5. We were in the school cafeteria watching it live. I’ll never forget the mass confusion and the adults in such shock that they didn’t immediately know what to do. They just ran to shut the televisions off. I’ll never forget that sad moment and the days after.
I was one of them
I watched this happen in class... maybe 2nd grade. It was shocking & sad for sure. Life has dealt me far worse since then, so it was really just a lesson in the circle of life, & the sacrifices we make as a species to further our knowledge. Death is unfortunately part of that, but if anything, watching it happen in realtime prepared us for adulthood & for the inevitable failures we would confront in our lives.
That was me. 3rd grade. Watched it live
I'll never forget that day. My daughter was home sick and watched it on TV. When she yelled and told me that it what happen I didn't believe it. RIP Challenger crew.
I was in the same boat - I was home sick, and when it happened I shouted for my mom to come into the living room.
@@MisterClear-yc3on Stop it! Give them the respect they deserve!!
@@MisterClear-yc3onI guess you think there’s more than 2 genders then. 😂
There was a bitter cold spell over much of the U.S. that day --- my school cancelled classes so I sat home in tears watching the news all day about this tragedy
I was home sick and I started crying. My mom came running from the kitchen and I pointed to the TV and told her what happened. It , and Columbia were just so, so sad.
I was in PE class, and a student office aide came in with the bulletin for our teacher to read. She was in tears at the end of the reading. Her sister was a finalist for the teacher spot on the shuttle, but wasn’t selected.
YOU PEOPLE ARE BRAIN WASHED. THEY NEVER WE'RE ON THAT SHIP. THEY ARE LUCIDFEIN PUPPETS. WAKE UP. IT CAN BE PROVEN
They watched a made for TV movie
Google "Judith Resnick yale challenger" and just look at all the pictures that pop up...
It’s all nonsense mate
They were never on board the craft that self detonated and got trillions of dollars assigned for “ safety “
All have been proven to be alive and well
@@Fartman-f3kmight want to loosen that tin foil hat there
My school's science teacher was a finalist for challenger. She was so excited for us to watch the launch. When the shuttle exploded, i remember seeing her in tears and had to be helped out of the room. It definitely left an impression on all of us still to this day. Rest in peace to all who passed that day.
1986 ! 38 years ago! I was only 13 years old back then ! I'm 51 years old already how time past .😢
That was the end of putting teachers and non-astronauts in space after the Challenger explosion.
I was 16 when I watched this at school in Scotland. I remember it very well still to this day. I also remember seeing the space shuttle fly low over our school on top of the Boeing 747. It did a tour and flew over the UK and Europe. Our school was only a few miles from Prestwick Airport. I remember that day well. One of.many very sad days for the world I can remember along with Lockerbie just a couple of years later. 😢😢
I remember my 10th grade science teacher was so excited about Christa McAuliffe going to space --- but when I came to school the day after the tragedy, it looked like he saw a ghost and was in total shock over what happened --- I felt so bad because it seemed like something inside him died
My 5th grade teacher was also a finalist as well.
I was a technician on the unmanned submersible crew that preformed a photogrammetric survey of the crew compartment debris field. This disaster was pretty much what your imagination can picture. I was told during my time as a sub tech that crashing in to the water from high altitude and high speed tears up a vehicle/craft worse than hitting the ground.
It's hard for people to perceive what I did for a living then. A little easier to understand today since there have been some television programs showing unmanned submersible systems. Like everyone, we had the TV on in the lab where the system stayed when not deployed. And like everyone, we could not believe our eyes. Unlike most everyone, we were almost immediately mobilized to Cape Canaveral for the recovery operation...when stuff crashed in to the ocean, we were often the ones sent to find and recover it. Our role on the challenger salvage was just one system that was part of many systems and ships and divers, etc. all over the region. The boosters over there, the main fuel tank over here, the crew compartment in another place altogether. Most people wont forget that day. The people who worked on the salvage wont forget 1986.
You and your team did a great job! It is also too risky for the people to go for the rescue. Unfortunately in this world ugly things happen as well. May they rest in peace🙏🏻
God bless you all.
You may have seen a crashed space shuttle but you never saw their dead bodies because they're still alive
..😅@@briandailey7274
@@briandailey7274 Was that supposed to be funny? I have too much decorum to describe exactly what I saw, but lets just say if they didn't die in that crash, somebody went to great lengths to stage what looked like it.
my advanced math class got to watch it live. It was soul crushing to see it blow up. I went to a small high school. I will never forget that day.
Literally EVERY school kid in the US watched it live. Small schools, big schools, etc
@@mrsx7944 not everyone at my school. I think they had 4 tv carts and that was all that could watch it. There were around 50 kids in my grade, it was a small HS.
I can only imagine how horrifying it must have been to see your teacher and hero die that infamous day.
I am so sorry you had to see that and for your tremendous loss. 😢

My husband and I were talking about this last week, still after all these years its definitely left an impression. I watched this in 3rd grade class from beginning to end.
It’s weird isn’t it the things we remember.. I was 12 and I remember exactly where I was on this day and when the Columbia broke up on re-entry and 9/11
I was in fourth grade. We watched it all too in the school library. I remember that day very well. We didn’t have regular class after that. We spent the rest of the day talking about what we saw and how we felt.
@@matte8663 I was 11 during 9/11 and remember that day so vividly. it almost doesn't feel real to think about.
I was in third grade as well when We heard that JFK was asassinated and I know as a child you never forget no matter how much time passes!
YOU PEOPLE ARE BRAIN WASHED. THEY NEVER WE'RE ON THAT SHIP. THEY ARE LUCIDFEIN PUPPETS. WAKE UP. IT CAN BE PROVEN.
NASA chose keeping a schedule over safety, I’ll never understand how no one was charged or even fired.
Nasa is as crooked as they come
They lie cheat and then lie again
NASA was responding to the wishes of Pres Reagan. But you will find very little written about his push to keep the shuttle program on a schedule so it would make money
@@edwesby5752 False. There was never any evidence produced showing that Reagan in any way forced NASA to launch Challenger that day.
There were numerous investigations into that, and Reagan and his administration were fully exonerated.
@Chuckles9191991, edwesby5752 hit the nail on the head. President Reagan wanted to talk about the greatness of America. He talked about something else later that night. Roger Bolgelei, an engineer at Thiokol pushing to not go ahead with the launch, made some comments after the disaster. I think he was aware of the push coming from the white house to make that launch happen.
Supposedly Pres. Reagan was going to have them speaking to Congress, and the country, during Reagan's "State of the Union" speech.
just turned 5. We were in the school cafeteria watching it live. I’ll never forget the mass confusion and the adults in such shock that they didn’t immediately know what to do. They just ran to shut the televisions off. I’ll never forget that sad moment and the days after. I hold my breath every launch to date. I’ll never forget the excitement we all shared then the sadness.
We had the same exact reaction at my school watching it live. I was in my fourth grade class. I'll never forget that moment.
I'm sorry the school children had to witness such a tragedy. Especially Christa's former and future students.
I never understood why you hide death from children.
@@jamesm568I think the idea not to “ hide “ death from children but to soften the blow and help guide them through a loss they’ve never been through and don’t understand how to process.
@@jamesm568Why wouldn’t you?
I was a junior in high school when this tragedy took place & watched it all unfold on tv in the high school library! May the Challenger 7 continue to Rest In Peace!
I was a junior in high school too.
We all watched it happen live. Literally EVERY school in the US has it on.
@@paulawalton4480sure brings back memories!
@@mrsx7944 Yup, it brings back the memories
I was in Adelaide AUSTRALIA. I was working a a nail technician in a hairdressing salon. We brought a tv in so we could all watch. We were numb watching it explode and that they all died. Especially the school teacher who died while her young students looked on. A day the world will never forget.
I was there when it happened and saw it. I taught one of the astronaut's children. Always knew they were down there. Could never watch a launch after that!! May they all rest in peace
Which astronaut?

“Challenger, go at throttle up.”
I’ll never forget those words. I saw this in school . Live on TV. Just like millions of other kids. To this day, that moment is clear in my mind.
Over the years, whenever I see a reply of that event, that phrase sends a shiver down my spine and I’m 11 years old again.
I was 12 yrs old 😢
I was 10 yrs old
I will never forget. I watched the Challenger disaster on live NASA feed off the big dish satellite. Godspeed Challenger crew.
@@ttfreetf Same here
I could have swore I heard it in a arcade game at one point. It's the mid 90s one with the light gun and you had to use that peddle. I remember it saying that during the game.
I was living in Florida at the time and saw the smoke from the explosion in the sky. It was a terrible day and everyone was in total shock. One of the quietest days I had ever seen, people were just out of it in disbelief.
I remember the day well. It was one of the coldest I ever experienced as a lifelong and native Floridian. At that time, I was thinking it was too cold and couldn't believe the launch was going on as planned.
I would say it was a sad and tragic event, but doesn’t even come close to 9/11

@@cops312
But 9/11 doesn’t compare to Vietnam
We had a rare snow day that day, so I watched it at home. Definitely my first dose of reality as a kid.

Just watching this brings back strong feelings of loss and sadness, and brings tears to my eyes.
RIP brave crew of the Challenger.🕊

Back then, many schools stopped teaching and turned on the TV to watch. All channels were broadcasting. We had a half day of school and tuned in at home. It was devastating to watch. Confusion turned to disbelief turned to sadness.
Nope!

I worked in the Launch Control Center (LCC) as an electronics technician working for Grumman in Firing Rooms 3/4 where Challenger was launched that day. A day I'll never forget for sure.

Having been 'fortunate' (and i use that term with a rock in my stomach) to be on the cape tour that very cold morning, all of us (on it that morning) were there to witness a moment in history we knew we'd never forget, but wish we could.
The teacher's parents were not far from where i was seated. Shortly after the explosion , i think we all knew...
I can still see her parents in my mind.
I didn't go back to the beaches of Cocoa Beach to watch until one of the last shuttle launches. I wasn't on the tour that day, and i was fine with that. I remembered the "last time"...

I watched this live during class in elementary school. For some reason, it helped to trigger a fear of heights I still have.
All school kids in America watched it live.

The black box showed that the commander was working the controls and trying to take the shuttle out of the nose dive, so 1 of them we know for sure was conscious during the crash and it must have been terrifying but he bravely fought to regain control. REST IN OEACE CHALLENGER CREW.

any other details?
where can we get this information?
since it didnt break up in flight, and they had suits on... its very likely they were all alive.
the stuff floating in the water means it did break up on impact or in the water.
but the shuttle was found "mostly intact"
if i recall the suits had like 20min air supply?
@@pazsionThe shuttle cockpit broke off around an altitude of 46k.
There are 2 speculations.
1. They suffered asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen
2. They were alive for the free fall and died on impact.
If they were alive during the freefall, they probably became unconscious pretty quickly due to the G forces of the free fall
You won’t go unconscious from falling. We can hope they lost consciousness at altitude but given they’d used emergency air packs some were conscious for a few minutes post break up.
@@andrewlarking7492 Depends on how violently the crockpit separated from the explosion.
And if the cockpit was tumbling out of control. That may apply heavy G forces as it fell towards the ocean
That incident still hurts. I will never forget these crew members or the crew members of the shuttle Columbia. RIP
Nasa is to blame for both. They knew the temps were too cold that morning and ice had formed on the shuttle. Nothing would hav been made of them scrubbing the mission for another time.
As far as Columbia, afyer the Challenger disaster, they should have not have taken ANY chances on safety. When that piece of foam came off one of the external tanks, and hit, it was like a hard piece. That tile damage shpuld have been repaired in space, before re-entry.
And, Atlantis had a near miss on a return, having a gap in the fuselage. They were EXTREMELY fortunate that did not end in disaster.
@@meddyven You are not knowledgeable. Space flight travel has never been safe, nor will it ever be. There is no such thing as launching from the ground on what is basically a mammoth bomb with a controlled explosion to Earth orbit that allows you to not "take ANY chances on safety". LOL. There was insufficient funding to beat all risks down to a low level and this situation still exists today. There wasn't a "tile damaged...they could just repair". It was the wing leading edge that was made of a double wall of carbon-carbon fiber. Each one of the wing leading edge pieces were unique in size and shape. There were no spares in flight. Even just going out for an EVA (astronaut in space suit) represents extreme danger to the crew and they cannot do it alone. Even if they saw it....there was no provision to check from inside, there would have been nothing they could do about it, and there was not a Shuttle ready for a rescue mission. By the time a second could have been readied, the crew would have run out of life support. MANY times the external tank shed foam pieces during other flights. Birds would peck at it when outside.
@@meddyven That tile damage should have been repaired in space?? they had no way of doing so, no space walk suits, tools, sparte parts etc
@@williamhaynes7089 They could have stayed docked at the ISS, until parts were shuttled to them. Next excuse...
@@meddyven - they were NOT at iss... they would not have had the fuel to get there, plus they didnt have the shuttle dock with them to hook up with iss..
I watched this live from the parking lot of my job in Altamonte Springs, Florida. It was sooo cold. All of us in the group watching were commenting that we had never seen a launch at such temps and really hope there weren't regrets. We immediately knew something was wrong when the trail separated. We all we've back into the office to turn on the radio (free of is had TV in the office at that time). Central Floridians were accustomed to launches and we always looked forward to them and i really loved the sonic boom returns of the shuttle from California. This was such a tragedy.
I was 6 months pregnant when I watched this on the news. I cried all morning ❤
The entire crew is still alive to this day. Google it.
My new baby girl was born a few weeks before this and I remember waking up to the TV. It was a bit disorienting.

I was 4 months pregnant when I watched this tragedy that have could've been prevented 😥 I have a 38yr old daughter born in June 86
You shouldn't have. It's bad for the baby.
As an engineer who worked at Rocketdyne, the Space Shuttle's Main Engine manufacturer located in Canoga Park, CA., I watched this in real time in the conference room at Rocketdyne! It was horriffic!

I still remember this so well. We were watching it live, 5th grade. What I remember most was all the teachers crying. Some things you never forget 😥
I was born on 1/7/1986. In the baby book my mom and dad put together, the first life event is the challenger. Obviously I have no recollection of it but have learned about the tragedy in subsequent years. Watching the video of the launch and seeing the family members reaction is gut wrenching. I can’t imagine having to process that in real time on television.
My nephew was born on January 28, 1986. I was happy about that and devastated about the Challenger at the same time!
I remember as if it happened last week. I was in school when this happened. I saw it live on T.V. I laughed at it because I thought it was fake! I thought that they were pulling a joke or something. I was only eleven years old. I didn't understand at that time what was going on. Now I know that this was real of course some days later. But that's something that you never forget. We watched all these people lose their lives before our very eyes!
27th here
You were born on my 23rd birthday and the year I had my son. I was pregnant and we heard about it at work. No social media back then, it was all over the news.
@Lulusvideos1 i was watch to 20th year old anniversary of space shuttle challenger explosion news showing at tv screen from my relative aunty's home tv before my 6th year old birthday
I was one of those kids watching live in their classroom. It was a big deal and a source of pride if I recall for our teachers to see one of their own making history and our classroom was one of many that day in the building and country watching the live televised event. Although I was only in fourth grade, I remember it clearly just like I remember watching the planes hit the twin towers on 9-11. The look on our teacher's face that day and the confusion among us little kids was something one doesn't forget. There are these historical events that happen when captured on tape that move in slow motion and are forever embedded in one's mind even though the happen in real time, they feel like movies one never forgets. RIP.
I was driving home from work when I heard it on the radio…….stunned.Rest In Peace.

It wasn't a design failure, the o-rings failed because the decision was made to launch in temperatures outside specifications.
They were sposta go up that previous Friday. I was there. On vaca. It was very cold that day, and that was the very same reason they didnt launch that Friday......im glad i didnt witness that. Altho i do have a photo i took of it on the launchpad.
I agree. It was not failty design, as he told in the video.
It was a known restriction due to low temperatur. Management took a decision to launch despite warning from the engineers.
I believe had they been guaranteed funding, the director probably would have called it off. However, even with the best explanation it would be hard to go in front of Congress, explain that they wasted millions of dollars all because they were worried that a cheap rubber o-ring would fail due to a temperature problem. At that time, NASA was on the edge of their popularity and congress and a lot of Americans were upset that tax dollars were pumped into a program that gave little in return. So the Challenger was their last ditch effort to get the public to see the shuttle program was worth it and they had a (un)lucky teacher to go on the ride with them. So they already delayed once, and if they delay again chances are it's going to put everyone in a panic. I think afterwards the report outlined this and they put in a better system to give a go/no go order. I think having less pressure to perform would be key as well. No other shuttle launch really had this much eyes on them.
@@suebee1436 "Sposta"???? "Altho"???? I'm assuming you skipped school to go on that venture.
Actually, the sealing compound for the O-ring joints for each SRB section was a replacement for the old sealing compound, because the old compound had asbestos in it. I think it was the EPA that outlawed the old joint sealing compound and forced NASA to change to the new stuff, which was inferior and became brittle in cold weather. It is thought that that vibrations of the launch caused some of the brittle joint sealant fell away, allowing direct flame to impinge on the main fuel tank.
Same thing with the Columbia. NASA had to change the adhesive for heat shield shield tiles because the old adhesive was deemed hazardous to the technicians attaching the tiles. The new adhesive was inferior, as other shuttles had lost tiles. In the case of Columbia, a section of tile came off, struck the leading edge of the wing and put a hole in it. On reentry, 5,000 degree heat entered the hole, burst a tire, weakened the wing structure and fried wiring and components. The shuttle started to pitch, roll and yaw and became uncontrollable. Finally, the left wing came off and the whole shuttle started to disintegrate.
Basically, it was decisions made by a bunch of pinheaded bureaucratic azzholes that killed 14 astronauts.
It wasn't a faulty booster design. Management didn't listen to the engineering team who warned them about the low temperature launch.
No it was a lie!
They are all still alive and still going by the same names!!
Google it
I was going to post the same thing. It's been widely reported that that morning Thiokol engineers warned that the unusually low temperatures the night before (at or just below freezing) were known to be a problem for the rubber-like seals between the sections of the SRBs, which were designed for usually-warm Florida launches. It wasn't a "faulty" design. NASA pressured Thiokol to sign off on the launch anyway and seven people died as a result.
It's sad people can be this dumb in the Internet age.@@LeahMarissa726
Exactly! Morton Thiokol was absolutely NOT at fault. NASA was.
It was BOTH!!!
I was in the CAANG 195th weather flight and was selected to be the weather specialist at Edwards AFB California for the first flight of the Challenger in April 1983 and received the Air Force Commendation for my work there. When i heard what had happened to the Challenger and crew I was deeply saddened. I came to have a attachment to the crew even though they did not know who I was or what I did. It makes me sad to this day. May America remember their bravery and sacrifice forever. These people are our best and brightest.
From what I read, after the explosion, at least two of the crewmembers either stayed conscious, or regained it, as their emergency oxygen packs have been manually turned on. Some of the control switches for the pilot had also been manually pressed. The pilot may have been trying to regain control but didn't realize that the shuttle was destroyed.
Could he have known, but his training kicked in and he was trying to find a place to safely land, as futile as he must also have known.
There's audio from them, but unfortunately they won't release it
They are all still alive!!
It was a complete lie!
They did not even change their names!!

There was a transcript leaked to the press but NASA denies its authenticity. One was going through checklists and the other could be heard praying.

There are some things that happen in our lifetime that happen in such a way that we couldn't forget if we wanted.

I was at work in NYC and when I came back from going out to lunch somebody told me that the space shuttle just exploded. I asked if the crew escaped and was told “no, they’re all dead.” I was stunned. How could the shuttle explode? It was like the Eastern Shuttle or the Pan Am Shuttle between Boston, NYC, and Washington D.C. But it was a lot more complicated and not as safe. R.I.P. to the crew and all astronauts and cosmonauts who didn’t come home.

I was one of those kids who got to watch it happen live in school. The whole school was gathered around watching and when it blew up the teachers couldn't turn it off fast enough.
God Bless them all and Thank You for giving your lives for humanity and space exploration.
I don't believe faulty rocket design was entirely correct. The point can be argued, however, NASA was told not to launch in the current conditions, yet, they proceeded against expert advice.
Read the report by physicist Richard Feynman who was tasked with investigating the event. He demonstrated before Congress that it was the O rings and freezing temperature at fault.
Right and then fuel leaked out from the o rings and it exploded. It was rocket design and poor planning.
@@dextermorgan1 NASA is culpable for failing to adhere to manufacturer advise. I never said it was a good design. Only that fault was on NASA.
And none of them were held accountable for their death.
@@dextermorgan1 The rocket was designed to operate under certain atmospheric/meteorological conditions. The O ring failure would've been avoided if NASA had waited as they were advised to and not ignore warnings by the engineers who were subsequently vilified for doing the right thing.

I vividly recall the the incident. While TDY from Dyess AFB, TX my C-130 H crew and I were involved in dropping 82nd Airborne paratroops over Ft Bragg, NC . Upon landing and engine shut down for a scheduled refuel, the aircraft crew chief ran on board and gave us the sad news. Many years later I while supporting a team of US Navy divers, (SEALS) I learned from one of the SEALS that he had been among the divers tasked to recover the crew of STS 51 - L . His recollection regarding the condition of the remains closely mirrors the narrative in this video.

I was in 6th Grade and watched this live .. Craziest thing l ever saw live
7th for me. St. John the Baptist grade school in Winfield, Illinois. I was in the bathroom when it happened and someone came in and said the Space Shuttle just exploded. I didn't believe them and walked into a classroom that was completely silent except for the quiet sobs of our teacher.
Me too. A bit younger but I remember the TV rolled out, watching then the TV turned off & everyone going back to class.
I also saw 9/11 live on TV, the 2nd plane, while in English class at our jr College. Our professor told us class is over. Everyone go home & be with your families.
I was in the same grade. My science teacher came into the classroom and told us the shuttle had exploded. Minutes later we were watching the footage that they had just taped.
The lady that was the second runner up to teacher in space Barbara Morgan? Can you imagine her standing there watching that? She did eventually get to go in August of 2007.
I was in between classes at the University of Pittsburgh. Watching it on TV was heartbreaking. God rest their souls.
Was in kindergarten, 5yrs old and watching live with the rest of my elementary school. At least 1 teacher screamed, confused chaos ensued for several minutes until some teachers were able to calm the others and we were all sent back to our individual classrooms. I honestly believe it left me and other kids with a sort of ptsd and I believe that's where my fear of flying and space stems from

I was in USN dive school in Coronado two weeks from graduation the day the shuttle exploded, three months later I was stationed at EOD MU-4 in Key West and14 divers from my command were sent to Cape Canaveral for a month to dive on the recovery of the shuttle debris. We worked with commercial divers diving off the two Morton Thiokol vessels used to recover the solid rocket boosters. One of my former diver shipmates from EOD MU-4 was at the time stationed aboard onboard the USS Preserver which is the navy salvage vessel that found and recovered the intact crew cabin. He was on the initial recovery dive and said all of the bodies were still mostly intact but had succumbed to exposure from being in salt water for 5-plus weeks and marine life eating on them.
I always wondered if they were burned or exploded in some way, thank you for the information.
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing your story!
In my research of the shuttle disasters it is pretty well documented that NASA tracked and had pretty accurate coordinates of where the crew compartment landed in the ocean the day it exploded or within a day or so after. Based on that what puzzles me is why it took so long (the 5 plus weeks you mention) to say they found it and recover the remains.
Makes sense... But the video says the bodies were crushed. So, which is more accurate?
@@cbraunsteinscrushed but if they were intact they would heavily damage. Conscious or not they hit the water 1k+ mpg
I live in Orlando FL and I watch as many launches as I can. I was babysitting for a neighbor and had my own son, who was under 2 at the time. We watched the countdown, and got ready to go outside to see it, and the older boy asked if it was going to blow up. I told him that NASA has all kinds of scientists who make sure this wouldn't happen, and then we watched the countdown. It only takes a few seconds to get outside to the best vantage point. I said a prayer for the astronauts, and we watched it come into view. The explosion was such a shock, and we watched as pieces and smoke trails spread across the sky. It formed a shape that reminded me of a malignant scorpion. I shook off my shock and brought the kids inside. They weren't aware of the tragedy that had just occurred, and I got them started on an art project to distract them. I recorded the launch, and watched it later, and it was obvious the O Ring failed, as you can see the flare of fire coming out of the joint before it expands and explodes. Such a sorrowful day.
I was in the army when it happened. At the time, I had a month off because I was heading to Germany. I was home, watching it all unfold.
And?
I was 4 yrs old and clearly remember walking into the room and my mom crying. One of my earliest memories.

The mention that the crew's remains were cremated is incorrect. The only crew member who was cremated was Judith Resnik. The other 6 were returned to their families and buried. There was live coverage on April 28th of 1986 when 7 hearses brought the containers of each crew member to the KSC landing strip to be flown to Dover, DE to then be routed to funeral homes of each family's choosing. Only those remains that couldn't be identified are buried together at Arlington.
Greg Jarvis was also cremated, his cremains were scattered in the Pacific Ocean off Hermosa Beach, California.
Yes, this is what I too have read from sources believed to be reliable. The content in this video very much strikes me of 'broad strokes' and lacking in scope or deeper research. 🕊️🙏🏻🕊️
I was in graduate school and the entire lab went to the local pub to watch the launch. We were shocked and saddened by the event. I had to stop watching TV and listening to the radio as it was relived over and over again for several weeks.
Years ago, I read there was water in the lungs of some of the astronauts, meaning some were still alive when they hit the water.
Yes they were alive when they hit the water.
They were unconscious when they hit the water (210 MPH, with a resulting braking force over 200 g’s), and they died instantly on impact.
There was no water in any of their lungs.
They didn't hit the water at 210 mph it was between 140 and 180 mph and they were not unconscious when they hit the water because they had turned their breathing machines on, but yes they did die instantly when they hit the water.
The body (or what was left of ) Greg Jarvis initially fell out of the cockpit when it was craned to the surface but subsequently recovered a few days later from what I’ve read.

ironically enough, this happened to them on my tenth birthday. Rest in peace and may heaven keep you.
I remember this day very well! I was sick and kept our son home from Preschool (he was al almost 6 years oldI). had fallen asleep for a short time in the couch and woke up just before the launch! I watched it live and will never forget!
Preschool at 6 years old?
I was 20 and working at a Stock Transfer office downtown. My mother called me via the switchboard and told me she had just watched it all on television.
The Challenger disaster was due to a Oh-ring (phonetic spelling) contracting due to the chilly temperatures allowing fuel to escape and mix with the exhausy of the firing rockets. NASA engineers advised NASA administrators to delay the launch so the liftoff could happen in warmer temperatures but they refused and imitated lift off at the time planned.
The rockets are solid fuel. The leaking o-ring allowed flame to burn through the gap and melt the booster mount. The booster contacted the large hydrogen/oxygen tank that supplies the shuttle engines, ruptured it, and that hydrogen blew up. More of a fireball than a detonation. Shuttle came apart mostly due to aerodynamic forces. Crew cabin continued on an upward trajectory, eventually falling back down and impacting. Booster manufacturer knew those o-rings would be affected by cold temps. NASA thought their schedule keeping management would somehow override material science. They FAAFO.
@@BogeyDopeYT
O-rings are rubber : they would be vapourized by the white hot, high pressure rocket gases. The gases were held back by an ablative putty. The significance of the O-rings was they showed ablative putty failure.
(The colour of the rocket exhaust gas was due to temperature.)
The reason ablative putty had to be used, was because the solid booster rockets had to be transported in pieces, by train, from Salt Lake City, where Morton Thiokol resided.
The original winners of the solid booster contract was Aerojet, who would have barged in monolithic booster rockets : no possibility of a burn through. The win was overridden by a NASA official from Salt Lake.
The burn through of the O-rings for each launch varied. Given enough launches, a failure resulting in the loss of a Shuttle was unavoidable with the segmented solid booster rocket design, the management had to know this.
I was in second grade, and my teacher's assistant went to Florida to watch the launch (we were in California).
I remember coming into class and being told that we weren't going to be watching anything that day because there had been a tragedy, and the shuttle had exploded. And to not bring it up to our assistant when she got home, and make sure we were extra nice to her, because she was really upset.
One of those things you just never forget.
May they all rest in peace and may their memories be a blessing to us all.

@@johnp139um..... In other circumstances that might be funny. It wasn't their fault that things went horribly wrong. Who knows how things would have worked out if NASA had paid more attention to the engineers' concerns.....perhaps it would have turned out to be a successful flight.
There's also situations similar to those depicted in the Apollo 13 movie, where nasty stuff happens and yet they somehow make it back. The real Jim Lovell, who was one of the crew on the flight that inspired the movie, has a cameo towards the end of the movie. And yes, I am old enough to remember learning of it on the news.

"We are the children, we bid you goodbye, Challenger crew who flew so high..."
I remember getting a Weekly Reader in my class and our teacher read the article about the Challenger crew before they launched. We were excited when that day came because we were gonna watch the launch on television. We all piled into a classroom with two more 4 grade classes and gathered around the television to watch. At first we didn't understand what happened. The teachers looked horrified. They couldn't explain because they weren't sure what happened either. So they turned the TV off and we started asking questions. By the next day we all kinda knew what happened. It was really sad because we were sort of invested in the story about the teacher going into space. It was a very sad day. I'll never forget it.

To my understanding the explosion wasn't due to faulty design but rather pushing / expecting components
to still function way outside of their initial design limits, in this case seals remaining flexible in near freezing ambient temps.
it was the O ring. It had been freezing that day. They never had the heat to expand.
The engineers that worked for Morton Thiocol were pressured into approving launch even though they knew ambient temperature was too low for the o-rings that sealed the solid rocket sections together. In my eyes NASA was actually responsible. They were more concerned with image than the safety of the astronauts.
It was a lie!!

I've read a number of comments, let me clarify something.
NASA launches a rocket only when it is AUTHORIZED TO DO SO BY SENIOR EMPLOYEES OF THE VARIOUS COMPANIES THAT MANUFACTURE THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS.
The man who authorized the launch on behalf of Morton Thiokol, the company that manufactured the boosters was the V.P.
His name was Joseph Kilminster, he was V. P. Over their Booster division, and it was his final decision to launch this, as well as every launch previous to this one.
I have a bit of inside knowledge of this as at the time I was married to his niece. Joe and his wife attended our wedding.
Joe was a VERY kind and considerate man, and I know that this error in judgment weighs very heavily upon him.
As the old saying goes, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
The moon landing took place 17 years earlier, not 11 as the narrator stated
The first shuttle launch was 11 years after the moon landing. Maybe that's what they referred to.

Actually, the entire crew was alive and conscious until they hit the water. The captain did everything he could to bring it down once it fell apart. Other astronauts have confirmed this.
NASA later admitted that the crew were more than likely alive when they hit the water. The crew cabin was still intact from the explosion.
Surviving the explosion, but not the impact is considered the probable theory, but not confirmed. Some have said that communications with the cockpit persisted after the explosion. To fully grasp this, one has to understand that the shuttles were built in a modular way. The explosion actually came from the solid rocket booster and detached the cockpit from the fuselage. There was nothing left for the pilot to fly and the shuttles were not equipped with an escape system. 😢
Alive versus conscious, neither of which matters.
Stop believing the bullshit lies. There is ZERO evidence to support that lie.

The remains of the Challenger crew were found in the debris of the crew cabin in March 1986. The crew hit the surface of the ocean at an enormous speed of 207 MPH, resulting in a lethal force that likely tore them out of their seats and smashed their bodies straight into the cabin's collapsed walls. They all died on impact.

Not to be disrespectful or morbid. But it seems the “explosion” would have already been a cremation. A very sad day in history.
Actually, the bodies were not burned, because the shuttle itself did not explode. The main fuel tank did and heavily damaged the shuttle. As it started to tumble it completely came apart.
The crew cabin was relatively intact, and at least 3 emergency oxygen bottles were found by the recovery team in the on position.
The cabin hit the water at 207 MPH, and the impact dismembered all of the crew.
It was 2 months before they found what was left of the crew compartment. The bodies and body parts were in a horrible state after being submerged for 2 months.
