Space Shuttle disaster, January 1986 - ITN News at 545 

I remember the Children’s ITV Blue Peter style live magazine show Splash being cut short to go straight to the news of the story.

Life was very different back in those days!

I remember watching this

Very rare instance of Carol Barnes hosting the News At 545... Between 1980 and 1986 it was almost always presented by Michael Nicholson... Remember the story very vividly, as pretty much every TV channel in the UK interrupted their broadcasts to break the story...

Is Stev Right the voice over?

To think Carol Barnes now has sadly passed away.

Its was a leak in the O Rings

I remember watching this. But, I watched it on John Craven's Newsround. But, that shuttle 🚀 always had problems.

Ron McNair was on board and was a friend to Jean Michel-Jarre. They were planning to produce a laser concert together and was almost cancelled because of his death.
