What Happened To The Bodies Of The Challenger Crew? 

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.

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

They watched a made for TV movie

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 played hooky and watched the launch from my back yard. Itw as also right before my voice changed. I was 12 years old.

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 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

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.

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

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?

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

It was BOTH!!!

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..

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

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.

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's unfortunate Burton is a racist asshole now.

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🙏🏻

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.

And three seperate tragedies reminded us of that

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.

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.

If I'm remembering things correctly, NASA lost a lot of momentum and public support after this. So it became more about equipment, satellites and tests on space stations... and less about shuttling people.

@@markrogers4913 Nasa was already losing support and funding. The Shuttles were supposed to be launched more often and carry payloads cheaper than rockets that were tested and used for years. Curious Droid has a great video on RU-vid about the failures in the Shuttle Program.
