Challenger Disaster Live on CNN

[NoMoreJuggling]

One of the saddest ever days in my life.

[BigBallsOfFarly]

WHY IS THERE 375 DISLIKES ?!?!?

[blueberri9]

@BigBallsOfFarly Its kind of hard to rate these types of videos. The people who disliked the video didn't like the fact that the Challenger exploded and 7 people lost their lives( not that the people who liked the video did of course)

[cyhb6]

something must have been calculated incorectly

[mhz23]

I was in first grade when this happened. We didn't get to watch it live in the auditorium like the older kids did. We came back from recess and sat cross-legged on the carpet. Our teacher said "The Challenger exploded."

P.S. I know the orbiter did not technically explode.

[13074homie]

My dad just told me about this is Soooo sad he was 12 when it happend he was watching and when it blew up his class was silent for the rest of the day

[rEdf196]

I wached this live on CBS. It was the most hyped and anticipated launch getting lots of media attention almost a year before actual liftoff. just when I saw the blast and the two separate SRBs firing in all directions and the falling debris I knew the astronauts were dead. It must have felt very similar for the people who built and lanched the Titanic ocean liner in 1912 which met a similar fate.

[JonnyOceanLove]

is this where Joe Buck got his start?

[iXelsior]

@JonnyOceanLove Joe Buck ruined the Giants game for me. I had to mute my tele.

[marcomariaz26]

I remember watching this on tv at work at the ford dealer in ct i worked at. holy cripes. we were all stunned silent for like 10 minutes.

[ihateuutube]

I route for Challenger ever time I watch this. It never makes it though.

[zzztubazzz]

oh my god did anyone die

[Killuminati1997]

@zzztubazzz What Kinda Question Is That?

Did You NOT See The Shuttle Explode!??

[jerrythedutchmapler]

"...Obviously a major malfunction." No really?

[Slappedwithabigblack]

hahahaa

[MissyLKS8]

@SuperDave619 Shut up.

[MrAJR76]

"Result of rapid deceleration"?? No, it wasn't. A sudden cross-wind set in motion the chain of events, not a sudden deceleration. Where on earth did you get that idea from? Watch 'Seconds From Disaster' for the full explanation of exactly what happened.

[lilrandyva]

i just turned one year old when this happen

[strangernmoscow]

"Explosion" actually caused by rapid deceleration? Where did u get that fact? All I've ever heard was, plume from failed o-ring breached liquid hydrogen tank, that failed and the thrust pushed it into the intertank/lower liquid oxygen tank, and rotating right booster crashed into the liquid oxygen tank and the released propellant ignited. U can actually see that process happening on video.

[GoCowboysMAustin]

I was living in Algeria when it happened, I remember it , I was 11

[GabrieleAzzuppardi]

Incredibile...

[iXelsior]

RIP all Russian cosmonauts who perished.

[crimsonvipor]

@iXelsior I want to kill you right now. You are a fucking idiot. Why do you exist?

[Makeitallmanageable]

@crimsonvipor He didn't do anything except pay respects.

[crimsonvipor]

@Makeitallmanageable And you are an idiot too sir.

[iXelsior]

@crimsonvipor What the fuck are you talking about?

[crimsonvipor]

@iXelsior None of them are Russian! How do you get that wrong!?

[Shuttheheckup735]

@crimsonvipor

You fucktard, He meant Russians who died in their space program,

how can someone be so stupid...

[iXelsior]

@crimsonvipor You need to read both of my comments. Both comments honor the Americans and the Russians, separately. And, get your head examined.

[iXelsior]

R.I.P The crew of STS-51-L (Jan 28), STS-107 (Feb 1) and Apollo 1 (Jan 27).

[ElenaTheMonster]

26 years ago this day... RIP.

[dgsvalrico723]

I remember this like it was yesterday. I live here in Florida in the Tampa area. It was a cold clear morning that day and you could see the vapor trail from here.

[luffyduffy7817]

This was 26 years ago. RIP to those brave souls :(

[ac23AQ]

This is why i can never have a "happy" birthday ever again. Candles and gifts are worthless, i hold a tribute to this.

[JeriDro]

@ac23AQ yes sir i agree



[JustinHEMI05]

Makes me cry every time. RIP. You will never be forgotten.

@SauceJohnsson  I am.

[Kankuro1216]

@SauceJohnsson I am

[orionpax12345]

@SauceJohnsson when you made that comment i was

[echubbard00]

I remember watching this in my classroom as a kid. I cried for a couple of days over this. I had always wanted to go into space until.... RIP CHALLENGER CREW, 25 YEARS LATER....

[xytsdx2]

@echubbard00 It's 26 years later now.

[ourEPICvideos]

This makes me so sad cuz they were really excited to go to space and see all the cool stuff and feel 0 gravity but then. KABOOM!

[111lilalex]

The date is two days after my bday :o two days after tomorrow will be the anniversary

[roystonsaxon]

Does anyone know what would have happened to the flight if Challenger had not gone full throttle when it was meant to? Would it have performed a sub-orbital hop (as they say) or would it have spelled trouble for the crew? Sensible answers, please.

[nblax41]

@roystonsaxon Some people have theorized that they could have actually made it into orbit had it not been for very high cross winds hitting them on the way up. They believe there was an oxide buildup over the o-ring that had malfunctions that was plugging the hole preventing the SFB from burning into the external fuel tank, and that the winds broke it off. Had the tank not exploded they would have been fine.

[RegurgitatedNews]

A Challengar disappears!

[dajman15]

@RegurgitatedNews

Stop fishing for thumbs up like a retard. The other commenter made the same joke a mere 17 hours ago and even then it wasn't funny.

[joshray70]

@ghostofthequeen

if you kept up with current events as well as you seem to do for something that happened almost 30 years ago, you would know about Obama handing over our most valuable anti-missile technology to the Russians. He's pretty much handing over information about the key factor that kept from the development of a stronger communist force, back in the days of the Soviet Union, to Russia, a country strongly affiliated with communist countries (i.e. Iran, North Korea, and China)

[PlayinCOD2Day]

MY TEACHER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O

[Dougy345]

what is this country coming to now we dont even have a space program thanks barack obama

[ghostofthequeen]

@Dougy345 Educate yourself. That wasn't Obama.

[iF0rk]

A challenger disappears.

[TheAceBoyCool]

@iF0rk nice, haven't heard that one before, most certainly not 200 times on this very video

[iF0rk]

@TheAceBoyCool Thanks!

[101andrewj]

a bunch of dudes got into a rocket and launched themselfs and a few thousand tons of highly explosive fuel into the sky and something bad happened? they should expect to see this every single shuttle launch and get suprised when they make it, and not the other way around

[sinisterswiper]

I remember watching this live.. in a classroom in the sixth grade... we were all excited to see the first teacher going into space... I remember all my class mates being so sad for a long time after.

[sodomyandlust91]

@twistedyogert yea it takes alot of balls to get on a space shuttle.

[Edkax3]

omfg that is absolutely horrible rip<3

[Dark6Metal6inside6]

wtf ... a shuttle crashed and those commentator is like ....

*silence*

Looks like there was an explosion .....

*sigh*

????

[Edkax3]

@Dark6Metal6inside6 ya like wtf?!?!?

[20MOJO20]

Jeez, I cannot believe this will very soon be 26 years ago. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was only 10 years and 2 days old. Much respect to the explorers of our world.

[MrRetrospex]

@20MOJO20 Doesn't that mean it was your birthday recently? Happy Bday!

[20MOJO20]

@MrRetrospex  tomorrow actually. Thanks man I appreciate it!

[1JUSTPASSINGTHROUGH]

@20MOJO20 - my son turned 11 the day before this happened. He, too, has vivid memories of this day. This was the first event of his life that had that "I'll always remember where I was when I heard about this" feel to it. Prayers going out to all those who were touched by this disaster all those years ago! God bless all of you -- and those who went on -- going where no man had ever gone!

[IraqiRomanceKing]

@20MOJO20 Happy Birthday

[MarSwanlake]

Minute 1:47 i can see a stork!

[IGamerTasticI]

That was funny.

[sodomyandlust91]

@ twistedyogert instantly ;(

[twistedyogert]

@sodomyandlust91 at least they did not suffer and they died doing what they loved.

RIP Challenger Crew.

[justinbieberlov40237]

I feel proud that the teacher's last name was ochoa bc one of my last names is ochoa from my dad's side of the family

[amgen52]

@justinbieberlov40237 That was not the teachers last name.

[justinbieberlov40237]

@amgen52 are you sure bc i was told several times by many many ppl that her last name was ochoa?

[amgen52]

@justinbieberlov40237 Christa McAuliffe was the teacher that died in Challenger.

[justinbieberlov40237]

@amgen52 but I thought her name was ellen or eleanor ochoa

[amgen52]

@justinbieberlov40237 Ellen Ochoa still works for Nasa in a administrative capacity. She flew on the shuttle 4 times and is still very much alive.

[jqdsilva]

The screen going blank that's a malfunction, not the blowing up of an entire vessel.

[TvMaster234]

lol

[twistedyogert]

is that thing that is spiraling in circles one of the booster rockets that got away when the tank exploded.

[twistedyogert]

do you think the people on board suffered much or were they dead instantly.

[Battlefield2Pilot]

@twistedyogert They almost certainly did not die instantly. It is estimated that they survived all the way to the ocean impact. At least two of them survived the initial explosion, as their life support jackets or something like that were activated in the seconds that followed.

[tmmaston]

What was it that caused the ship to explode?

[fowl37]

@tmmaston a leak somewhere caused the fuel tanks to explode

[theanimeasian1]

@tmmaston actually the oring broke causing the catastrophe

[tijeshreshvin]

Thanks For This Video CNN. I Used This Information In My Project.

[littleREDslinky]

when they delayed and delayed and delayed and delayed, don't you think it might of been a sign to say hey don't let this rocket go

[ethaneveraldo]

I should probably feel ashamed to say this... but I thought their comments were pretty funny.

[tnp963]

hey no dis respuct but how did they died the people their was dumb if some one say dont go u would not c my white ass on there i would have been the first mother fucker out of their

[kabazt]

@tnp963 Wow. I'm sorry but you really did just "dis respuct" the people on that ship. They were highly trained scientists and far smarter than you will ever be. They were not fully aware of the flaw in the design of the O-ring that lead to this tragedy and if they were they would not have launched. Also, there is no chance we would see your "white ass on there" because I doubt you even have a double digit IQ. At the very least just look it up on Wikipedia instead of asking us.

[QuarstyAndZack]

@tnp963

you keep thinking that

white trash

[ohaiitsshhhharris]

The crew of the Spaceshuttle Challenger were true heroes. They put their lives on the line - and lost them - for the greater good. For something bigger than themselves. I am especially humbled by what they did, because I could never do it.

[ssjgoku95]

thats just sad my sis  one of the 7 was a teacher mrs. mcalaffin won a trip to it and she died on that spae ship the same thing almost happened in 2002

[cottencandiexoxo]

if i was the person on the news reporting that, it would be so awkard

[ChrisVaughn85]

OOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSS­SSSSSSSS!

[ChrisVaughn85]

NEAT VIDEO!!!

[Misel982001]

Challenger's crew are HEROES of humanity....RIP... ---->--@

[hooha96]

there was this one live recording and the guy says 'oh shit it exploded'

[iTurpin02]

Haha the commentator's a retard

[mheinrichs1974]

I remember being at school when this happened...another teacher came in and told everyone.

[zx1400a7f]

@mheinrichs1974 Yeah, it was fourth grade, the pricipal rolled in one of those 30' tv's on the four wheeled cart. When I got home, my mom was crying. Never thought it would hit me years later. We had something to be proud of back then, now just facebook.

[MrComputergeek3]

2:11...looks like some of the solid rocket boosters blew away from the side of the shuttle in an explosion...in an explosion...

not to sound apathetic, but no shit an explosion?

[AngelPrincessClow989]

@MrComputergeek3 The man reporting was not actually looking at what was going on. He was reading from a screen.

[x2361]

1:47 the smoke is shaped like a scorpion

[90prettymama]

Oh my god so sad!!

[TheManlyFilms]

so....

is this still a live broadcast?

[TheCelebrityOnline]

Boring..

[Misel982001]

@TheCelebrityOnline people died you shithead

[TheAngryPhilosopher8]

The "major malfunction" guy was probably only reading data from a screen, not actually watching the rocket. So from his point of view at the time, maybe the only thing that went wrong was the communications went down. Anyway, he's a professional, they don't tend to freak out even if a disaster occurs, because freaking out wouldn't help anything.

[DieTheDeath]

gotta love commentators.

not.

[silverballer1911]

did he died?

[Muracosa]

@silverballer1911 All 7 persons on board died

[silverballer1911]

@Muracosa my pary are with the father who lots his chilren

i am truley sorry for your lots

[interinfinity]

did he really just refer to that as "a major malfunction" 2:20. im pretty sure that was a catastrophe

[CodBeetlezZ13]

What does NASA stand for?

Need another seven astronauts!!

I know, terrible joke, sorry!

[frea1able]

wow, that was an intense moment in NASA history.

[tomakosssss]

1:47 what a scorpion!

[Orionsgaming]

They were the bravest of us all. Did everything they could, for the better of man kind.

[Volleyballgirl98]

why is he talking so calmly after a huge explosion?!

[gaevgs]

«Не бойся, это неправда, всё хорошо»

[smokemonkey97]

@gaevgs пошел на хуй

[magichump]

R.I.P brave people.

[TheSimonyoran]

1:42 who is speaking?

[ElenaTheMonster]

That is my worst fear right there. The Columbia space shuttle disaster is eerily alike to this disaster.

[bradtwo]

He's so calm because that dude has seen some shit.

[guy197714]

@GravityPowerful And what did you do to contribute?

[mocksession]

Houston !

See y'all in hell !

[guy197714]

@mocksession You're a fucking piece of shit.

[mocksession]

@guy197714

Hey!

Relax mister!

Was only kidding around! No hard feelings?

[CaptainSn0wMan]

o hell naw first of all ppl make mistakes second all of you people cursing me out go eat a dick third since when was it the last tiem america gotisrpected they are always disrespecting everyone else but when they get disrespected they ar ethe first to go start a war and invade other countries so all of you people cursing me out and calling me st

upid FUCK OFF AND GO GET A LIFE

[crazyknight2008]

the O ring broke at lift off but a peice of slag filled the gap, but as the shuttle reached a part of the sky which had turberlance the slag was disloged,allowing the fire to eat away at the booster strut....sad...

[akronsfinest34]

@erick1power ur a real asshole... burn in hell for thinkin such horrible thoughts.

[thesinsthatibleed]

@akronsfinest34 what.............

[erick1power]

@akronsfinest34 I love you

[Angryprometheus]

did anyone elses skin get chilled

[x1DVSBASTRADx]

What's the one that had the teachers in it?

[jhibbitt1]

@x1DVSBASTRADx this one had a female teacher called christa mcauliffe, i believe she was the first non astronaut to be involved in a manned flight

[MrWimbledon444]

@luisr12491 no its not

[crazygeek4296]

Dear god this video is so ominous when you are are watching knowing what is going to happen.

[2424cookie]

i like how the guy talking (not the one on the radio) was sooooo calm during this

it blows up and usually people say OH MY GOD....he didnt....what a duesch

[MastaKadaj]

Major malfunction? No fuckin' shit, really?

[amishmike1]

OMG the space shuttle blew up! Why isnt FoxNews or MSNBC covering it??!?!!!

[HeartyWeekends]

@amishmike1 Are you serious?

[CaptainSn0wMan]

this video is s fake because one if it exploded in air like that why did the news reporter sop talking? and 2 they said the accident happened when it was comng back from space not headig towards it

[xDMACx12]

@CaptainSn0wMan You need to get your facts straight before you call something "fake". I can see where you got confused though. You are thinking of the Columbia disaster.

[tabamoura]

@CaptainSn0wMan for real ? Tell that to the families . ah, google Shuttle Columbia , that was the one that had an accident returning to earth, not challenger.

[GoNolesDude]

@CaptainSn0wMan Open a history book every now and again, you fucking tool.

[CosmicJoker88]

@CaptainSn0wMan You dick! go fuck yourself you are insulting America and all those families that watched that..next time pick up a fucking book and read through on this material before you comment shit like this ever again...

[RangerSandman]

@CaptainSn0wMan Sorry bro, but you have this mixed up with the Columbia disaster.

[guy197714]

@CaptainSn0wMan I remember watching this when it happened. It's not fucking fake. Learn your history before you show your ignorance.

[iTrollhardi]

when u.s ingenuity died...

[PainlessTragedy]

wiki reports this mission as a sucess unbeliveable? Coverup? Or Faked Crash?

[ilovelacy999]

@PainlessTragedy wikipidea isn a reliable recourse.
