Ahh! Fucking gringos you are hilarious look at those faces right after the challenger blew up, it was like "This is the best fireworks show I have ever witnessed" Boys and old people smiling. Perhaps they thought it was one of those shitty hollywood movies.
In a very brief explanation. Due to the launch being conducted in cold weather the rubber O - rings in the solid rocket boosters did not expand like they were supposed to. Since the O - rings did not expand the fuel in the sold rocket boosters leaked out to the flame of the engine causing the explosion. Sadly Roger Boisjoly was an engineer that was on the team that built challenger and warned NASA of this problem. Boisjoly was ignored and the explosion occurred. .....

Reading some of the idiot comments and conspiracy theory nut jobs. the reason her parents reactions seem confusing is because -wait for it - they ARE confused.
why are the parents having a laugh at their daughter being blowen to oblivion at 2:28 and 3:10, like a minite after witnessing the explosion AND the nasa commmentator clearly claiming that its exploded... are they that senile they thiught thats just what space shuttles do? i dunno, its spinnin me out... fuckin crazy video, so surreal
@Stevenio. since when did facial expressions flip backwards reversed...cause i think i have been giving the wrong reactions to major events in my life... ok u know when u draw a happy face, smile points up, and vice versa for the oppposite. well its not happening here..... is all im saying.... i smell the stink of illuminati tampering
amazing that people didnt realize that the shuttle exploded immediently after it did you can hear a women and a few others still wooing! the launch after it exploded I guess they could never imagine a tragedy to the glorious space shuttle
With excited calls of "Lift off, Lift off" it slowly rose from the ground towards the heavens. But it didn't get very far up before it blew apart in a fiery explosion. No, I'm not talking about when Ed Corrigan, the father of Christa McAullife, tried to have sex with his wife. I'm talking about the explosion of the shuttle
I remember this like yesterday. I was in sixth grade and we all were seated to watch the first school teacher go into space.

Sometime later we learned she entered that contest and lost. I'm glad she lost.
Thankyou you for posting this video, I needed this for my research project I have to do for college. This is so interesting because I was being born "literally" during the time this happened, January 28, 1986. And you people are sick for cracking jokes about this explosion, this wa very serious and affected many lives.

@skyarsalan One of the O-rings in the twin rocket booster was damaged due to extreme cold weather, it was like 18 degrees that morning, an usually cold morning in Florida. The O-ring is a stopper for the SRB joint (its like a valve), the hot gases from the rocket booster seeped through the SRB joint and melted through the large red fuel tank which caused the explosion. The company that made the O-ring knew about the defect from cold Temperatures but didn't contact NASA to cancel the launch.
OMG! I started "Rocket Man" the same time I started this, and it synced up perfectly! I'm not proud or happy, it just gave me the chills so much that I had to share this with others. It's kind of like a tribute... only much more sad!
Oh my GOD! My mouth hung open for the entire video! I wasn't even born yet, but this is still HORRIBLE! It's those fucking jerkoffs on the ground that fucked that shit up! It's THEIR fucking fault!, it wasn't supposed to launch that day, there had been so many delays that ground control got fed up and said, "let's just fucking do it". Goes to show how much our government cares about people! For anyone who makes a joke... I hope you burn in hell while being raped by satan's demons, YOU FUCKS!
this is the first time ive ever seen this video. you can hear the debris landing around them. this is heartbreaking. i was twenty when this happened. so sad, and dont bother commenting if youre a bored idiot. i cant believe some of the desensitized people of the world today. yes, we all watch the videos, but some of the comments are uncalled for.
@farmvillionaire You can here the debris falling around who ? Not only are they 3 miles from the pad but the accident happened several miles out in the ocean.
@billj500 What kind of a jerkoff are you?! porn,? seriously. I WISH GOD WOULD COME DOWN TO EARTH & KILL ALL THE STUPID FUCKS LIKE YOU! YOUR WORTHLESS TO SOCIETY & THE WORLD! IF YOU DIED NOBODY WOULD GIVE A SHIT!, IN FACT THEY (including myself) WOULD PISS ON YOUR OPEN CASKET & SHIT IN YOUR FUCKING MOUTH YOU STUPID CUNT! I WISH ALL THE BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE WOULD INSTEAD HAPPEN TO ALL THE ASSHOLES AND MORONS LIKE YOURSELF! GO INTO A DARK CORNER AND DIE!
@billj500 Really? Then tell me, what is this GREAT POINT your making by using two words? The only point that you make is you like to watch terrible things happen to good people and that it get's you off! Hence, "disaster porn".
@stoneddeaf420 No, the point I"m making is that stupid people, like you, enjoy watching disasters in the same way they do porn. I was pointing out the idiocy of the average person that sits in front of their tv for weeks after 9/11 and Japanese earthquakes watching, the "news," wen really they are watching disaster porn. It's a sickness. You're ignorant, stupid, inarticulate, annoying and entertaining.
@billj500 I don't enjoy watching such things. And I sure as fuck don't watch it like I do porn. People don't sit there and watch it to get off, they watch it so it actually sinks into there heads and they, in turn, can comprehend it more easily. That's why I watch the things I do, so I can actually get it in there, instead of being so stunned and horrified that you sit in a catatonic state. This shit breaks my heart every time, so don't imply that I watch it because I like it, or to get off!
they all were unconscious when the external tank exploded, however they were most probably alive as the cockpit fell to the ground for about 2 minutes in one piece. At least the crash in the sea would have ended their lifes, hopefully they didnt feel any pain.
i'm not quite sure why everyone keeps commenting, about them cheering or a dad having a smirk on his face, not only is it disrespectful but it's disgusting, you can never be prepared for something like that and not everyone bursts into screams of crying etc, the poor guy or families were probably in shock or waiting to hear that their family member had been ejected safely. unfortunately not, r.i.p
@Subject28 They didn't report until @2:52 that the shuttle exploded. From where they were on the ground they probably couldn't see what was happening and didn't understand what just occurred.
@Chargerfan182 Well check again, because at least 2 survived the EXPLOSION, and died when they fell back to earth. The backup oxygen units were used AFTER the explosion.
From Wiki: "Most salient was the failure of both NASA and Morton Thiokol to respond adequately to the danger posed by the deficient joint design. Rather than redesigning the joint, they came to define the problem as an acceptable flight risk. The report found that managers at Marshall had known about the flawed design since 1977, but never discussed the problem outside their reporting channels. Marshall managers went as far as to issue and waive six launch constraints related to the O-rings."
id have to say that the families of the challenger crew probably had it much worse than the families of the columbia crew. at least the families of the columbia crew didnt have to watch them die.
i remember this happening when i was a kid and seeing tons of replays of it on the news but i have never seen footage which shows it from the point of view of the audience near the launch pad. what made things even worse was that some of the audience were family members of the shuttle crew and they just stood there and watched them die. what was even more horrifying was that the audience didnt know how to react at first because it happened so suddenly without warning.
@snoops71 i didnt know a single person on that shuttle or even a friend or a family member of the people on that shuttle and i still cried when people started crying. the fact that some of the audience were actually family members of the shuttle crew and they just stood there and watched them die was just so sad.
Cristah McClauiffe was a teacher and they had a program for teachers that has space mastery in teaching and Cristah won. My 5th grade social studies/science teacher was in that program and could have been on there!
I remember watching this live on T.V. in one of my 8th grade classes ,like it was yesterday.The room went quiet as we all were in shock and couldn't believe what was going on. I can't imagine being a family member and being there .
What Alyse1969 was referring to was the fact that the "explosion" was actually the disintegration of the ET and the vapors created by the consequential release of the liquid materials in cryo contained therein; not a combustion or an explosion in the typical sense. The investigation performed after the event concluded that it was probable the actual cause of death for the majority of the crew was the detached crew compartment, which broke off the orbiter, crashing into the ocean at 200mph+
this was one year before I was born. It breaks my heart to see this this. Then the Columbia one....breaks my heart. But its all coming to an end. I am watching the final shuttle launch on CNN right now. It feels like the end of an era. I am in Canada but I watch every launch on TV, have been my whole life. I am 24 years old, so this is a huge deal that the shuttle launches are ending. But in a way I feel its for the best...the "birds" were getting old. Doesnt feel safe at all.
the shuttle did NOT explode - good grief, how can you not get a basic fact right before posting this video? try reading the extensive wikipedia entry about the accident - the shuttle fell to the ocean and made impact at over 200 mph. there was no explosion.
Ancora oggi, a distanza di anni, rivedere queste immagini mi crea una grande angoscia.L'unica consolazione è che quei poveri astronauti non si sono accorti di nulla. Stessa" fortuna", se così possiamo dire, non ha avuto l'equipaggio del "Columbia", che ha avuto tutto il tempo di capire la tragedia a cui andava incontro.
must be the cruelest thing to watch this Shuttle as a mother or father of an astronaut. you see the clearly blue sky and this explosion with vapor trail. Somehow it looks very unreal, almost pretty. But you know that everyone inside was dependent on the construction of the Shuttle. and as it breaks everyone inside is given no chance
@FeatheryWonders - They didn't know what it was. It was so high up by then at first they thought it was just the normal rocket booster separation. There are several videos shot by people on the ground at the time -- showing what you would have seen if you were there. It takes a minute to see there's something wrong.
@FeatheryWonders People cheer because they have initially no idea what they just saw and mistook it for the normal separation. It takes them a moment to realize that they witnessed a tragedy and that this is -not- what it's suppose to look like. Unless you have seen several shuttle launches before, it's probably hard to tell the difference, after all, nobody expected anything like this to happen.
@SuicidalOptimist Well said. Family members and others eventually comprehended what they had witnessed and reacted accordingly. What isn't comprehensible are the comments left here by some who KNOW that people died in this explosion, who know of the suffering that this entailed, and who think it "funny".
@FeatheryWonders They hadn't realized what had happened. They probably thought the main engines got fired up cuz that was what was supposed to happen.
@TheHexeract oh i know ,its just as a whole back then people were just nicer and kinder and people made a point to live simpiler than they do now , but things were better back then compared to now adays . but i will amit things were not perfect just saying the time itself just had a better feel to it , have a wonderful night ,god bless
The fact that I heard (and correct me if Im wrong) but I heard bettween 5:23-5:25 I heard a littel kid sreeming mommy! Which broke my heart into millions of pieces like the challenger

id have to say that the families of the challenger crew probably had it much worse than the families of the columbia crew. at least the families of the columbia crew didnt have to watch them die.
KimCheeWarrior 6 months ago
i remember this happening when i was a kid and seeing tons of replays of it on the news but i have never seen footage which shows it from the point of view of the audience near the launch pad. what made things even worse was that some of the audience were family members of the shuttle crew and they just stood there and watched them die. what was even more horrifying was that the audience didnt know how to react at first because it happened so suddenly without warning.

What Alyse1969 was referring to was the fact that the "explosion" was actually the disintegration of the ET and the vapors created by the consequential release of the liquid materials in cryo contained therein; not a combustion or an explosion in the typical sense. The investigation performed after the event concluded that it was probable the actual cause of death for the majority of the crew was the detached crew compartment, which broke off the orbiter, crashing into the ocean at 200mph+

this was one year before I was born. It breaks my heart to see this this. Then the Columbia one....breaks my heart. But its all coming to an end. I am watching the final shuttle launch on CNN right now. It feels like the end of an era. I am in Canada but I watch every launch on TV, have been my whole life. I am 24 years old, so this is a huge deal that the shuttle launches are ending. But in a way I feel its for the best...the "birds" were getting old. Doesnt feel safe at all.

the shuttle did NOT explode - good grief, how can you not get a basic fact right before posting this video? try reading the extensive wikipedia entry about the accident - the shuttle fell to the ocean and made impact at over 200 mph. there was no explosion.

Ancora oggi, a distanza di anni, rivedere queste immagini mi crea una grande angoscia.L'unica consolazione è che quei poveri astronauti non si sono accorti di nulla. Stessa" fortuna", se così possiamo dire, non ha avuto l'equipaggio del "Columbia", che ha avuto tutto il tempo di capire la tragedia a cui andava incontro.

must be the cruelest thing to watch this Shuttle as a mother or father of an astronaut. you see the clearly blue sky and this explosion with vapor trail. Somehow it looks very unreal, almost pretty. But you know that everyone inside was dependent on the construction of the Shuttle. and as it breaks everyone inside is given no chance

@FeatheryWonders - They didn't know what it was. It was so high up by then at first they thought it was just the normal rocket booster separation. There are several videos shot by people on the ground at the time -- showing what you would have seen if you were there. It takes a minute to see there's something wrong.

godsizedhole 6 months ago in playlist Aviation
@FeatheryWonders People cheer because they have initially no idea what they just saw and mistook it for the normal separation. It takes them a moment to realize that they witnessed a tragedy and that this is -not- what it's suppose to look like. Unless you have seen several shuttle launches before, it's probably hard to tell the difference, after all, nobody expected anything like this to happen.
SuicidalOptimist 6 months ago
@SuicidalOptimist Well said. Family members and others eventually comprehended what they had witnessed and reacted accordingly. What isn't comprehensible are the comments left here by some who KNOW that people died in this explosion, who know of the suffering that this entailed, and who think it "funny".
