About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Extended footage covering the horrific Challenger accident before the launch including the astronaut crew walkout and after the accident with additional NASA announcements. The video footage ends with debris splashing down in the ocean. On January 28, 1986 despite the warnings of engineers not to launch in freezing temperatures, NASA management chose to launch Space Shuttle Challenger. The result was the loss of 7 astronauts in a horrific explosion 73 seconds later when flames from a solid rocket booster leak from a cracked o-ring and burned through the main fuel tank. The solid rocket boosters remained intact after the explosion and continued on out of control before mission control sent a self destruct signal to them so they could not cause destruction on the ground.

You see the close out crew showing McNair how to verify that the hatch is closed. There was an interlock not working so they needed visual confirmation. The whole fight should have been scrubbed and if not for the Spartan Halley satellite they probably would have.

Pretty easy way to deal with "deniers" :Report them as spam. Sure, we have freedom of speech, but it doesn't give people the right to be obtusely stupid and spam their untrue views about something that obviously happened.

They are all alive & kicking, NASA takes everyone for fools & to be fair 95% of the population are

Horrible way to die.

Thank you yourjudgeandjury for this great video. Does bring back a very sad day for me. I was standing on the sand in Cocoa Beach, where I live, with friends and we all became 'speechless', then crying was heard everywhere! Such a sad sad day and sad year with NASA reviewing the tapes slower and slower to come to a conclusion on the cause. R.I.P. All of the Brave Astronauts that Chilly Day!

Hello, sir? Yes, I'd just like to use my last minute on Earth here to tell you how much of a dick you are.

18:32 Why did the camera go all funny? Me thinks this was another nasa bullshit?

I always thought it suspect when you seeing actornauts with big silly smiles minutes before stepping onboard of a huge dangerous rocket! Surely any normal person would be shitting bricks and vomiting?

I witnessed this before it happened and I wanted to stop it but my mother and I would of been murdered if that happened. Later I found that it was part of a satanic sacrifice. As a teen this shocked me beyond belief.
