Remembering this as such a cold morning, sadly etched in memory between classes at nearby University of Florida.

Watching this, you realise how many dreams were extinguished in that one fatal moment of history. Those who lost their chance to see the Earth from space, I know why the Challenger crew set forth. But the dreams that we lost inspire and encourage styles of a new generation to reach for the stars.

This was such a sad day. Thanks so much for sharing

The UK news presenters and experts were far better than the ones for US television at the time other than John Zarella at CNN. It showed that the US media had become complacent regarding the shuttle program. CNN made the great move by hiring Miles O'Brien, an aviation expert, and passed the baton with covering the shuttle program thereafter, as well as covering aviation incidents. His covering the Columbia accident for CNN was far better than any other in the US media. But they unceremoniously dumped him for budgetary reasons in December 2008. He covered the shuttle program to its conclusion and aviation stories for other news outlets. He was re-hired by CNN in 2014 as an aviation expert.

Showing my age when I recognise the Channel 4 and BBC One news broadcast music. Heather Couper was always a great resident space expert. Great work as always in both finding and putting these all together!

Wait! 1:30 was this narrated by Lord Commander, The King in the North?! Thank you LM5 for the crazy amount of work you do for the community!

Fascinating to watch - in the US I was glued to the CBS coverage. Thank you for uploading this.

Once again, thank you for the time putting this together and sharing it with us.

Still remember that BBC1 didn’t put a proper newsflash out first, but went to ‘Newsround’ first, and covered it the best they could for kids. Always seemed a bit weird.

Simon ! Slow down uploading ! I have to eat and sleep also. lol THX Bro !

It was during my first winter after graduating high school and I was home from a two-week job training program I completed the week before. I remember watching the coverage on ABC News the whole day and I never thought it could or would happen. But, it did. :(

Wow thanks

A night’s quality viewing sorted…😎

Blimey, I was in Florida when this happened. Seems so old 😮

The parachute was a paramedic parachuting from an airplane.

It is now known that the below freezing temperatures caused shrinkage of the o rings between sections of the booster rockets. The shrinkage allowed fuel to escape and ignite. That caused the explosion.

All this TV archive has been kept. Yet the Apollo stuff was just taped over by the TV companies.

I was 6 when this happened. Big shock it was and then in May the Bradford City fire happened. Eventful.

The below freezing temperature that morning caused the rubber o rings to shrink and fuel to escape, causing the disaster. The engineers warned NASA not to launch in the below freezing temperature, but NASA ignored them.

I didn’t know they broke in during Larry Speak’s new conference. I think that was about 30-40 minutes after the accident.

Tim Substain would cover the launch of STS 26, 2 1/2 years later.

“9 years to the day since the Apollo 1 disaster”? Wasn’t that in 1967? And didn’t the challenger accident happen in 1986?

So many eerie flaws right before the disaster

God bless em

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Morton-Thiokol engineers: Don't launch. Don't launch. It's not safe!!! NASA Bureaucrats: Screw you. We gotta launch this teacher into space!!!

2:58:00 Bro look at Bill Nelsonnnnnnn

28:37 Channel 4

1:02:10 "burn through" wow on point.

eu gostei dos comentários.

2:35:39 did he say launch of skynet?!

The space shuttle killed 14 astronauts, 14 people, 14 humans. Was it worth it?

It was Reagan's idea to put a teacher into space. And Reagan was wanting the launch to occur that day so that he could mention it in his speech that night.

What happened to Challenger was not "rocket science," if one will forgive the pun. If your engineers to a man are warning you against attempting something, then whatever you do don't overrule them. They know more about the actual system than your bean-counting brain can ever fathom!

I LOVE LM5! forever 😊 Where do you get this from. Pure history. I LOVE IT!!!
