Feel bad for the kids who watched their teacher die, must’ve been traumatic
Ok I have never heard of this is saw a tik tok about how they should teach this in school but that's besides the point, there where teachers on there? Why I thought only the astronaut's could. I might just be stupid but idk about any of this was it just teachers? Where there kids?

@@tee92721 I’ll be praying for you. The Challenger explosion was an unfathomable tragedy that plunged the world into a profound sense of grief and sorrow. The weight of sadness that enveloped the crew and their families was unbearable. The crew members, driven by their passion for exploration and the advancement of scientific knowledge, embarked on a mission that would forever alter their lives. Their dreams and aspirations were abruptly shattered in a catastrophic event that claimed their lives in an instant. The families they left behind were left shattered and inconsolable, their hearts forever scarred by the void left by their loved ones. The pain and anguish felt by these families, knowing that their cherished ones would never return, is beyond comprehension. The Challenger explosion serves as a haunting reminder of the fragility of life and the devastating toll that tragedy can exact. The depths of sorrow and wretchedness experienced by the crew and their families are immeasurable, forever etched in the annals of human history as a somber testament to the profound loss endured.
I remember watching this in Elementary school. We all cried & we were let go early. Such a horrible day. 😪

I was in Elementary school in '86 and can tell you it was a day of sadness and confusion.
I was nine years old when this happened. Pretty crazy to learn as an adult that the engineers warned them not to launch the shuttle because it was too cold in the O-rings wouldn’t function correctly creating a dangerous situation. NASA management overruled them and launched anyway. Also frightening to discover that despite how it appeared it was not a giant fireball that killed the astronauts instantly. The astronauts were alive until crashing into the water.
Thank you for this…these are the questions I needed answered
Yeah that NASA management was William Graham
How do you know they were alive until crashing into the water? They were blow to pieces in the sky. They couldn’t be alive until they reached the water.
@@maybay8248The compartment the astronauts were in was intact after the explosion. Also there were life support systems that must be manually turned on that were turned on after the explosion.
@@maybay8248 The area they were all in was essentially a pod that was ejected separately. The pod was retrieved from the ocean floor after a three month search and recovery operation. Investigators are unsure of the exact time of death of the crew members, but believe some survived the initial break up but the impact with the ocean wouldn't have been survivable.
I was in 4th grade when this happened, and we were watching live in class cheering because the teacher was going up in space. It was super sad day when we realize it exploded and people died.

Just here to salute the heroes of Challenger on this day 35 years later.
On a personal note, one of the crew, Ron McNair, was a keen sax player and was friendly with musician Jean-Michel Jarre. Ron had written a piece and they'd arranged for Ron to take his saxophone up with him together with tape equipment to record it whilst in orbit. It was to be the first piece of music recorded in space. Ron was very excited about doing it and Jarre was going to incorporate it into a track on his forthcoming album 'Rendez-vous'. Following the disaster a stand-in later performed the piece as a tribute to Ron after consultation with his family and it appears on the album as The Last Rendez-Vous (Ron's piece). A haunting and moving piece of music.
Ron McNair’s smiling face in his uniform is what I can relate too.
This is so sad! I never knew the story of the last rendez-vous. It is hauntingly beautiful. I also am a sax player and love Jean Michelle Jarre, so this piece means a lit to me. Rendez-vous is such a nice album. But the Oxygene, Equinoxe and Le chants magnetiques albums are fantastic, too ;). We lost a good man and great musician that day... Thank you for sharing. I am sure Ron is smiling up there.

@@handsomeelfo8254 they survived, until they hit the ocean, knocked unconscious and drowned..

@Vignesh Kumar S i heard they were turned on but slowly ran out,
The sad thing is that they never died until they hit the ground. Still conscious and everything.
Edit: I might be wrong. People are saying i'm mixing things up for the Columbia. Very sorry!
Oh, I doubt they were conscious.
They would've been conscious by then
how do you know they weren't killed in the explosions?
Where did you hear that....I have alwa y heard there wasn't enough left of them to return to their families.
Just asking, not blaming anyone for anything.....thank you for sharing what you heard......
Yeah sorry it wouldve been impossible for them to survive the explosion. The shuttles are very weak in fact not much tougher than your standard airliner. And the explosion of the shuttle was similar to that of chemical plants exploding like the one in china. It completely ripped apart the shuttle almost instantly.
irrelevant to how we feel or how the people there felt or the scientists after this failure, imagine what their families felt like watching them explode in front of their eyes with absolutely nothing they could do about it.💔
It would be equal to scientists because I'm pretty sure these projects are worth over billions, and a human life according to the USA is worth only 10 million

I was 7, I remember watching this, it was a weekday and I had a cold, I remeber watching it live and I kept asking my mom, they're alive right? they're OK, right?
I was 9 and at home with chicken pox. It was traumatic seeing it happen in real time.
My relative went to school with Judy Resnik, one of the astronauts. Rest In Peace to all those who were on the spaceship.
My teacher I had in 4th grade knew the teacher that died
I was 9 when this happened. Even though I'm Australian, and was only a child, remember that day so clearly. Just so horribly sad
Nightly news. Geez, I was sixteen years old and babysitting a 10 month old that night after it happened. I remember putting the baby to bed and sitting in their living room that night and watching all the nightly news recaps. It was all over the news and the horror still sinking in even though it was hours before. What a heartbreak.
I remember watching this live in grade 4…i will never forget my teacher running to turn it off. And the silence… my teacher in shock and a bunch of kids not understanding what just happened. We were suppose to marvel at the advancements of man, instead we were taught a different lesson. RIP to the lives lost that day.
That's exactly how my experience was. I was in third grade and it was like watching a horror movie. I'll never forget how hard the teachers were trying to make us forget about it.
I’m taking a sociology class and this was mentioned in the chapter about ‘groupthink’ and how this theory contributed to this fatal day. Apparently the Thiokol engineers told NASA there was a hardware problem with their O rings but NASA didn’t want to delay the launch again since they had already delayed it multiple times. Thiokol eventually gave in to the consensus only after 5 minutes and agreed to launch after a “private meeting” despite them knowing it wasn’t a good idea. They didn’t want to lose their contract with NASA. Had they kept their ground (not gave in to groupthink) and had NASA listened, this wouldn’t have happened. Terrible.
I'm studying to be a mechanical engineer. We are studying the details of what happened here in our ethics class.
Essentially: Some sealing O-rings for the rockets didn't work right due to the cold weather. The manufacturer knew this would happen, and tried to explain such to NASA. NASA, under media and government pressure to get the launch going after so many delays, wasn't as receptive to their presentation, offering some weak counterpoints to indicate that it wouldn't be a big deal. A 7-6 vote in favor of launch prevented them from delaying until more favorable conditions.
This was such a tragedy, and more tragic when considering how preventable it was.
The deciding "swing vote," the VP of engineering of the manufacturer, changed from a "no launch" to a "launch" after he was told to "put on his manager cap."
An effort to please the crowd, to keep up with a deadline, killed seven people. What a disaster indeed.
Groupthink.
@David 1167 You can learn a lot from other people's bad choices.
They (both NASA and the contracted engineers) understood the O-rings were a problem. Either way, whether the space shuttle blew up during launch or if they had to redesign the solid rocket boosters, the space shuttle program would have been over. So the question should be are we willing to let thousands of people go from their jobs on the chance that the O-rings might fail as opposed to waiting for seven people to die, with the same result? In hindsight we now know that the O-ring failure was 99.7% certain with a launch at 36 degrees Fahrenheit. That's pretty well a certainty. However, to give them the benefit of the doubt the engineers at the time probably thought the risk of failure was about 90%. Still too high, really.
I wasn’t even thinking about this and all of a sudden I had a dream about this last night! I got chills now
R.I.P legends you sacrificed your lives for our future and you are the luckiest people who died while doing what you loved the most!! Respect
This and how everyone was (and still are) so proud of them to go just for them to pass away, can't imagine the pain of their families and friends.. :(

I’ll never forget this, I live in Delaware and it was brutally cold that morning. So cold in fact that many school buses wouldn’t start so after 45 minutes of waiting and my feet blistering cold I walked home and turned on CBS. Just as I turned it on the shuttle Challenger was about to lift off. I was the tragedy live on tv in 86 and my heart will always go out to the victims of this disaster. As I was watching TH-cam moments ago and listening to the engineers and managers go back and forth DO WE OR DONT WE it amazes me the pressure that Americans put on each other to be successful regardless of the outcome 🙏🙏

I find it sad that they were finally achieving there dream and didn’t even make it into space at the least. So sad.

i was a fourth grader and our entire class had been decorated like mission control for the flight. It was right after class had started on the West Coast. I recall my teacher mentioning how cold it was and that it had been delayed for that reason a couple of times already. When it blew up we were all shocked into silence. I remember someone asking my teacher a question and she answered but she was far away from our classroom in that moment. We continued our class, but when we came back from lunch that day, all the space stuff had been replaced with Valentine's day.
My teacher was in first grade watching from outside. Then it happened. Tears. Then, my other teacher, Mr Steven's, said counselors had to come into the school for weeks because of how distraught and disturbing it was. The worst part is how those people were ALIVE until they crashed in the ocean
What? Reports always say they died instantly when the ship disintegrated
I was 18 when this happened and live in Florida, I watched lift off on tv and the ran to my car to go to work knowing the road I travel I could actually see the shuttle traveling into orbit. When I reversed out of the driveway the radio announced the shuttle had exploded! I pulled back in ran inside to see and was in tears 😢😢 the shuttle program was a huge deal, My family had been Kennedy Space center multiple times. Sad day ☹️😔
I can remember watching it with my father. Something I will never forget.
I learned about this in school years ago, I know their last moments were terrifying
I was 9 when I saw this live on the television. It was traumatizing to know that people died on that take off. RIP to those that were in the Challenger.
A terribly sad day for our country and the loved ones of those who perished
Now over 38 years later and I still remember where I was first notice about the explosion.
Watched this as a kid on TV in school. We were really confused and hoped that they survived. Didn't even believe the astronauts had died until the news reported it later that evening. Still remember the feeling to this day. RIP
I was born this day!! I feel the pain for those lost in this tragedy!! Prayers to the family n friends to those lost 🙏 ❤️

36 years later and not a peep on the news about this anniversary of the Challenger disaster. God bless these lost souls. I was only 6 years old when this happened, so I didn't learn about it until I got older.
And nobody was held accountable.
Engineers are a guess.
I was 9 years old when this happened. It was one of the very first major tragedies I remember happening. Even at such a young age I was able to feel and somewhat understand the weight of this event. I'll never forget it.
You know, this kinda reminds me about the Hindenburg explosion.
Both aircrafts had a tear in they’re fuel tanks and both exploded in the air.
Sad how history repeats itself...
In 2023, I would never forget that day watching it from my 4th grade classroom in NY. Scary day and kids cried.
I wasn’t alive when this happened, but I remember the first time my mom showed me this. She had saved a newspaper clipping from it
i was in 2nd grade...mrs ringer's class at harding school in santa barbarba california. she got up, turned the tv off, and we then did an activity outside.
that day stayed with me forever. i remember coming home and my grandmother was watching the news and crying about the explosion.
so tragic. then a few years later, our 4th grade class watched the next lift off, and our return to space.
i understand the people who disliked in sadness

They say it was an O ring but in reality it was too cold. Such a sad day. Rest in peace challenger crew.
The engineers who built the shuttle actually fought to delay the launch because they knew there would be problems with the O ring with the cold weather but the higher ups at Nasa and their engineering company didn't listen to them. So sad that this tragedy occured but even more sad to know it could've been avoided if only they listened to the engineers. Breaks my heart for the victims 💔
Do yourself a favour: stay out of this comments section.

I was at Bowling Green Elementary in Florida. I was with my kindergarten class and we were in amazement when we saw the shuttle in the sky with its twinkling sparkles of reflection from the sun. My teacher Ms. Bigsbee told us to come inside to watch it on TV, so we all ran in line from our recess to go inside and watch the news. Then in astonishment the explosion. We had to have a counselor come in and have us vent our feelings (our teacher was crying so much). I’ll never forget that day. God bless the teacher on board and the families of those who died that day.

More terrifying if the aft backwall had torn open or its rear cargo view glass windows had burst open. Imagine all the debris flying out back of middeck and upper deck for the 100 sec of upward trajectory and then micro-gravity free fall

Amazing they didnt at least have a parachute on the shuttle...... sad. RIP
Their cabin stayed pressurized for the 3 minutes it took to strike the Atlantic Ocean. Could you imagine being in there knowing your dead? What horror!?
On January 28th, 1986 over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of cape canaveral, Florida on the Tenth flight of the Space Shuttle Orbiter Challenger on mission STS-51-L the American Shuttle exploded 73 seconds into its flight, killing all 7 its crew members. It happened because of the o-ring failure preventing fuel leaks but it never worked because it was at a record low temperature of 28 degrees fahrenheit (about -2 Celsius) and it was because of this that the o-rings failed because they were not meant to take such extreme temperatures. The government was well aware of this but they still wanted to launch the shuttle because they didn't want to postpone the flight any longer as it was already postponed multiple times due to inclement weather.
NASA never gave an apology to the families. The engineers warned them it was too cold but they launched anyway. Let that sink in. Chilling.
