I detest modern American journalism. Some bits are better than others, but all of it has gone so far down hill in my forty-odd years-local and national, public and commercial, television and print and radio. I can't stand it.
Peter Jennings is very calm and emphaty when delivering the news. I really love him even he was long gone. Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Hugh Downs, Sam Donaldson, and so many great journalists of yesterday. Now we have David Muir, Lester Holt, Norah O'Donnell.... I hope they would not allowed the evening news turn into a mainstream media.... I love that traditional evening newscasts.
You said it! Captivating is what he was: you start watching Peter Jennings and you don't want to stop; you don't want _World News Tonight_ to be over in half an hour. Nowadays things suck. It's exactly the opposite: somebody turns on David Muir (or whoever that "anchor" is on ABC nowadays), and all I want to do is murder the TV.
to people that are too young to remember this was a very big deal the teacher in space mission was going be be national live broadcasts with her doing school classes and stuff it would have been historic and memorable. everyone in America and really around the world knew about it. such a huge loss when it happened
When Peter Jennings passed away in 2005, I mentioned the great events he covered as well as the tragedies he had to cover. This was one of those tragedies.
I'm a 90s kid, and my parents watched WNT on a daily basis when I was growing up. To me, he was the news, along with seeing Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters on 2020. RIP Mr. Jennings (2005) and Mr. Downs (2020)
Roger Boisjoly objected to liftoff. Boisjoly correctly predicted, based on earlier flight data, that the O-rings on the rocket boosters would fail if the shuttle launched in cold weather.
I remember this tragedy like it was yesterday. Terribly sad. I lived in Concord, N.H. at the time and knew of the very well respected and lived teacher, Krista McAuliffe.
I had just come home from classes at the little trade college I was attending then, sometime between noon and quarter after one that afternoon, and had barely gotten in the door when the phone rang. It was one of my friends who was calling everyone in our group and it was from her I first heard about the disaster. I turned on the TV which happened to be on the local ABC station and just watched for the rest of the afternoon right through this news broadcast.

@@shumla7ranch Christa McAuliffe (employing her middle name at the time of the "disaster") who we all knew as the lovable Concord, NH teacher now goes by Sharon (her legal first name) and was employed at Syracuse University as a Law Professor.
I vaguely remember this broadcast. I was less than two month shy of my 4th birthday. I didn't fully understand what this was all about, but I remember it.
I don't think I understood, either. I had turned six some days before. It was my habit on weekday afternoons after getting home from kindergarten to watch _Scooby-Doo_ and _He-Man_ and on this day I waited while something else came on instead. I waited and waited and didn't understand why my shows weren't on. Eventually my mom, overhearing the TV from the next room, got the sense that something important had happened and came in to watch. Then I also understood that something important had happened and my cartoons wouldn't be on. I think it was only four to eight years later that I realized that the loss of the Challenger, which I did hear about over those years, was the thing that had been on TV that afternoon. Then, around late 1995, a classmate lent me his family's VHS tape that had been recorded from various TV channels on January 28, 1986; I took it home and watched it that evening, and some of it dredged up what felt like _ancient_ memories, from almost ten years before (a period that feels a lot longer at fifteen than it does in your forties). Only in adulthood, using the Internet to revisit the coverage, did I begin to have an emotional relationship with the event. Today, seeing the kid in this video say "it made me feel bad", I got teary-eyed.
The space shuttle tragedy when they said where were you when you heard. reminds me of 9/11 tragedy cuz i was in my 8th grade typing class that morning when all of us kids saw it and my female classmates screamed in terror when the 2nd plane hit the south tower
Once we make it into heaven there is no looking down back at earth again. We are totally removed of earth and it’s pain and experiences. It sounds nice to say our loved ones are looking down but God doesn’t let us look down. We are in Heaven only.
Back when ABC News was a real, reliable source for news & information. Then Disney took over and slowly went downhill. The death of Peter Jennings put its final nail in the coffin. It's now full of PC and Tabloid trash.
I honestly don't even watch the news...ever. i watched it more as a 6 year old than i do now. Seriously. Its just pathetic and dark and the latest news on Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus is more important than whats going on in Syria. Fucking pathetic.
1986 was the year full bag of mixed emotions from the tragic moments of the Challenger to Introduce Christian singer Sandi Patti to the US and to the world thru singing the Stratospheric version of National Anthem of the United States of America for the rededication of the Statue of Liberty. And this very...... an old school video! Nice!
My cousin's first flight was the 3rd after Challenger. He flew on every orbiter besides Endeavor. He obviously didn't fly on Challenger. To the best of my knowledge Story Musgrave is the only Astronaut to fly on all 5 orbiters. My cousin did fly with Story as well. They are both in the Astronaut Hall of Fame.
@@djbeezy all these lying $hit-stains are paid propagandists, as are our former and current Mercenary forces. No one believes you wards of the STATE. Smedley Butler was correct.
A very tragic day for NASA, and our nation. I was a sophomore in high school when this happened. The crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger showed true courage for all of us.
I admire the people, the spirit,the bravery, but in all honesty I can't wrap my mind around what could be worth going into a cold dead environment, when cameras and sensors allow robots to discern much more with today's technology.
This will never be forgotten in my heart for these amazing heros who deserve respect and admiration for the NASA launch went wrong. I was and still shocked that the all died unexpectedly without warning, my prayers and memories are for the families and their would who went by shocking thought. Hoped and prayed they come back safe, but they went to heaven with god greeting them too. I still cry and can't believe this ever should have not happened
Sadly, had they not done a "won't even try" scrub a few days before the ill fated launch (due to a weather forecast of rain and thunderstorms at launch time) they would have been fine most likely. The forecast for that day had been for thunderstorms, due to the very cold front that caused the very cold weather on Tuesday. A low pressure wave formed on the front and slowed it down. The weather at launch time was perfect winds at the geound and aloft, clear skys and temperatures in the 70s. Perfect flying weather even for a flawed joint design. But they scrubbed and then choose to launch in the most marginal weather conditions since Apollo 12.
+zoomer30 do you mean the weather a few days prior to the actual lauch or the day of the launch? The night before the launch the temps dropped below freezing and ice had formed all over the launch pad and ground crews tried to de-ice all they could but the ice wasn't the cause as we know,it was a faulty o-ring design and neglect on NASA Admins. part to get it off the ground in a hurry to launch.At the time of the launch itself (11:38am est) the temp. wasn't in the 70's at all.Anyway just wondering if you were talking about the days prior to the launch or the initial launch day itself as you and most know the launch was delayed several times for various reasons and why was NASA in such a hurry to launch. Thank you
Ron M I cant remember the day of the week, but I think it was Sunday. The forcast for that day was so bad they didn't even bother. The forecast for that day was for rain, thunderstorms and wind during the entire launch window, and only getting worse as the day wore on. No sense wasting time and money on a sure scrub. Well, the weather forecast did not hold. The launch director and one of his people went outside at what would have been launch time and it was warm, 70-75 degrees, little wind, and not a cloud in the sky. The LD said "You know? I think we should have launched" They knew that the cold weather was comjng.
Zoomer30 they might have made it into orbit if the Gulf Stream hadn’t hit them and knocked the slag out of the joint. Maybe. No sense dwelling on it when we know definitely.

Boisjoly wrote a memo in July 1985 to his superiors concerning the faulty design of the solid rocket boosters that, if left unaddressed, could lead to a catastrophic event during launch of a Space Shuttle. Such a catastrophic event did occur less than a year later resulting in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
All of the Astronauts that died in US space programs were just in the last few days in Jan and first day of Feb. Apollo 1 (January 27) Challenger (January 28) Columbia (February 1). Strange.
There’s an entire report. The capsule was intact until it hit the water. Of course we don’t know if they were cognizant, but part of the astronauts donned their protective gear. Some believe they were alive until they hit the water.
John Glen was a senator then? I thought he didn't run for Senate until the early 90's. Well my mind is blown. Maybe I am remembering him running for re-election.
Totally avoidable. They should have charged someone with criminal negligence. Delays are inconvenient, but do you want a delayed successful mission or 7 dead astronauts?
Boom! They died on ocean impact at 204 mph. The group was found, accordian style, in their shuttle. When recovery crews disturbed the remains, one corpse floated away and was located weeks later. The anticipation of death is worse than death itself.
If you live in the US and have Netflix, watch the Challenger miniseries. It explains how NASA was looking to improve its image and spark new interest in space exploration. The accident was the rock bottom point of a multi-year attempt to make space seem more accessible to all.
WHY IT'S IN HUMAN NATURE THAT WE ALWAYS REMEMBER TRAGEDIES! WE NEVER FORGET THEM!! MAYBE IT'S AN INSTINCT COMES FROM VERY ANCIENT TIMES. MAYBE IT'S GOOD AND BOOSTS OUR SURVIVAL. FEAR OF LOOSING AND FEAR OF DEATH. PROBABLY THAT'S WHAT MADE HUMAN A HUMAN!!!
Rather than ask in the comments at TH-cam and hope that a stranger will (A) take the time to write to you and (B) give you accurate information, why not just look it up? Google would have told you faster.
That,s what it was all about, public relations. Engineers were surprised that thing had not blown up on the ground. Shuttle boosters. O rings, etc. CEO,s making a buck. Times have not changed. Worse for this country was not so far in coming, with what Reagan was creating in Afghanistan.
Everyone assumes that when someone famous dies, they're now "touching the face of God." They could have been unrepentant atheists for all Reagan knows.
God created us all. Doesn’t matter if people are petty and don’t believe in him. He gets to judge them upon their death. So they certainly do see the face of God their creator and he tells them, “depart from me I never knew you.” And they aren’t welcomed into the Pearly Gates, they are cast to hell forever.
There wasn't a snowball's chance in July that a male teacher would be chosen from the group of finalists. Notice that the runner-up was also female, just to make sure a woman got to go.
Hi I'm a frozen O ring, and you just picked the wrong day to launch. If you have cut rate insurance, this could be your problem. So get Allstate, and protect yourself from mayhem like me.
Pab Key what are you smoking..I'd like some..and by the way..since you claims nobody dies..can you locate my grandma who i havent seen since 1962? She was born in 1890. .well? I mean you says nobody dies..
No!!!!!!! It was not a hoax or a "staged event"!!!! I was home sick from school & watched it from our couch!!!!!! The Challenger did launch & tried to go into orbit but then sadly exploded. 😢 The Challenger crew were so brave & gave their lives for their dream!!! Look it up on TH-cam & you will be clued in to what went on.

My sixth grade teacher Mrs. Yarlettes was best friends with Christa McAuliffe. Therefore, most of us, as 6th graders beheld our very first GRAPHIC tragedy [ watching this LIVE on television ], at Raymond Elementary School, Brockton MA USA. Mrs. Yarlettes bursted into tears and we were all oblivious and couldn’t process the totality of her hysteria to the extent adults [ did that day ]. We just wanted to go to recess. To play tag, some kick ball and others to stare at their ‘crush.’

fate is unjust, christa you did not have the right to die. forever in my thoughts ..
1:31 They mixed up Smith and Scobee.
In situations like this, ignorance is bliss. It is very important that reaction not b a viable option
Totally avoidable. They should have charged someone with criminal negligence. Delays are inconvenient, but do you want a delayed successful mission or 7 dead astronauts?
Is NASA even still around? I don't think that they go up in space anymore. They figure that it is a big waste of money and time.
They are still around, just not launching as much rockets as they did before.
I'm hoping that this doesn't happen again on Artemis I scheduled for launch on Monday.
Boom! They died on ocean impact at 204 mph. The group was found, accordian style, in their shuttle. When recovery crews disturbed the remains, one corpse floated away and was located weeks later. The anticipation of death is worse than death itself.
That is awful😥
Dicky Ball that was a disturbing description but correct... accordion style? dude you may want to talk to a counselor or something
Tell me again why did we need a teacher in space???
muffin6369 public relations, to spark interest, novelty, etc.,
@@Jck747 Thanks for your response.
We felt that it was time to send a civilian into space and it was decided that that honor should go to a school teacher.
If you live in the US and have Netflix, watch the Challenger miniseries. It explains how NASA was looking to improve its image and spark new interest in space exploration. The accident was the rock bottom point of a multi-year attempt to make space seem more accessible to all.
RIP
in the 10th grade and donnie wallace asked if i'd heard the news.
and I was like what?
Today is 9/11. We remember where we were on that fateful day. Pearl Harbor 1941, JFK 1963, and Challenger 1986. Remember America. We owe it to them.
WHY IT'S IN HUMAN NATURE THAT WE ALWAYS REMEMBER TRAGEDIES! WE NEVER FORGET THEM!! MAYBE IT'S AN INSTINCT COMES FROM VERY ANCIENT TIMES. MAYBE IT'S GOOD AND BOOSTS OUR SURVIVAL. FEAR OF LOOSING AND FEAR OF DEATH. PROBABLY THAT'S WHAT MADE HUMAN A HUMAN!!!
Did their bodies fall to the ground? That would be so hard to locate their remains.
Michael Kuntz in the water, 6 weeks to find them all
Rather than ask in the comments at TH-cam and hope that a stranger will (A) take the time to write to you and (B) give you accurate information, why not just look it up? Google would have told you faster.
The wind shear is what caused the disaster. A few more seconds the the main tank would have separated.
Sorry but no, wind shear was an issue but the o-ring failure due to the temperature was the cause.
17:16 RIP mr McCain
Damn that's a crazy way to go ... And sad for the families as you know there was definitely no bodies to put in caskets
MisterTripleESS actually they found the remains
@@matildaharden1064 how much of the remains were found is the question.
@@est92580 The crew compartment was intact. They were all there so to speak.
@@MaynardGKrebs-gv4vy That's what I read, too. (Sorry for such a late reply.)
I’m running over to Kmart to buy an NES, oh wait, shit. It’s not 1986.
I miss Kmart and Sears. My original NES is still working though. :)
That,s what it was all about, public relations. Engineers were surprised that thing had not blown up on the ground. Shuttle boosters. O rings, etc. CEO,s making a buck. Times have not changed. Worse for this country was not so far in coming, with what Reagan was creating in Afghanistan.
R.I.P George Bush and John Glenn.
Everyone assumes that when someone famous dies, they're now "touching the face of God." They could have been unrepentant atheists for all Reagan knows.
Exactly, have to have a relationship with God whole heartedly
Joe Doe: Stupid fucking comment. You can't even spell Reagan correctly you jerkoff.
God created us all. Doesn’t matter if people are petty and don’t believe in him. He gets to judge them upon their death. So they certainly do see the face of God their creator and he tells them, “depart from me I never knew you.” And they aren’t welcomed into the Pearly Gates, they are cast to hell forever.
There wasn't a snowball's chance in July that a male teacher would be chosen from the group of finalists. Notice that the runner-up was also female, just to make sure a woman got to go.
joe doe what’s the problem, Joe?
And.....?
And so? You have a problem with that?
Hi I'm a frozen O ring, and you just picked the wrong day to launch. If you have cut rate insurance, this could be your problem. So get Allstate, and protect yourself from mayhem like me.
@ Sam Starr that was a sick and disgusting comment. How dare you make a crude and tasteless joke out of this tragedy.
@ Sam Starr You need Jesus.
@ sAm stARr thu space sutal izt reel thu erth iz flaat it hitt thu fillamit; noonne diyd.
@ Sam Starr would you make that comment if it was someone you knew that was on that space shuttle?
@ Sam Starr I would like to meet you and kick your ass for making a sick joke like that.
Worst disaster in history.
Yes, it certainly was. Very sad.
Pompeii, thousands dead, San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, 3000 dead, Titanic 1912, 1500 dead.
Well, they were wrong about one thing. The solid rocket boosters WERE the cause of the disaster
Baba Booey to you all!
4:21 jeesh they were still reporting this nonsense 7 hours later?
Say what?
life. strange.
Hawaiian astronaut?
An American-Japanese
I so dont miss Peter Jennings.
Why dodo
Sadly for all Americans and people all over the world but this was another stage event... No body died! The shuttle hit the firmament
Pab Key you are truly a moron, I watched that shuttle with my own eyes! Since you seem to know that, then explain the motive
Pab Key what are you smoking..I'd like some..and by the way..since you claims nobody dies..can you locate my grandma who i havent seen since 1962? She was born in 1890. .well? I
mean you says nobody dies..
Haha! I can't even think of a decent reply! I'll bet 100 bucks he believes the earth is flat as well.
Sadly, you're a misinformed and gullible idiot
No!!!!!!! It was not a hoax or a "staged event"!!!! I was home sick from school & watched it from our couch!!!!!! The Challenger did launch & tried to go into orbit but then sadly exploded. 😢 The Challenger crew were so brave & gave their lives for their dream!!! Look it up on TH-cam & you will be clued in to what went on.
They shouldve put a parachute on the crew cabin
