@candy80542 if you travel into space.. with 835,958 gallons of the principle liquid propellants: hydrogen, oxygen, hydrazine, monomethylhydrazine, and nitrogen tetroxide... im sure you know something can go wrong.. and you need to be prepared for anything.
its not like everyone is going to space nowdays.. you know.. its not cheap. now go back to that time where you cell phone has more technology than the space shuttle haha.. you can imagine what could happen :(
@BarryDong If you want to know, someone had told me in the past that ''Challenger'' had been exploded by the government on purpuse. That's why I asked other viewers about that in this video. So, if you don't know some things you'd better not to comment...

OMG I still remember hugging my teacher when I was going back to class from lunch when we all seen her in the hall on her kness crying and she told us a very special crew just lost there lives for man kind. GOD rest there souls!
why are you all nagging like 4 year olders in the comments?
Seriously!!!!!!
Since you are here pay some respect to those who die at least!
Pay some respect to the families of the victims!
My father and the teacher who won the competition and was on this mission were friends..... and he was shocked when he saw this, since she was so excited... but nobody knew what was about to happen...........
May god rest their souls in peace. At least, they died honorably.
I know this is off-track but is it just me or did people mourn in a more dignified manner back then? Even though they know what just happened to their family/friends they kept relative composure and left the scene presumably to go cry privately. And the husbands nonchalantly holding their wives -- it's endearing to me, a small silver lining on that tragic day. I can't explain it, to me it just seems like nowadays so many people make a public mess of themselves at any opportunity.
@bvespertine - America lost its soul after Vietnam. Once the Patriot Act was allowed , Americans lost every right given them under the Constitution. Obama can now render any person in America off the streets and hold them forever in a dungeon without any legal access. Americans have less rights than those in Communist nations.
Really? Americans have less rights than Communists? Try *saying* that in a Communist nation, chief. Some men in snappy uniforms will ensure that you never have the chance to say it again.
Right now, there are North Korean slaves, building shit in Russia. And they've been told/convinced they're still in North Korea.
You're telling me they have more rights? Keep trying to convince us of this shit while you're on a high-speed connection in a decent home. Or buy a house in China.
@Archie8Manning excuse me, please have some respect for those who died. you can say that her eyes were blue, but the whole "one blew that way, the other blew the other way" comment was very inapropriate.
@danzdimz 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. .....

@nikkiago You do realize they dont have a tv in front of them right? They are looking at a computer screen full of numbers, they don't actually have eyes on the machine, they would have just seen a sudden fluctuation in ratings and wonder why. They didn't just instantly know it went boom
@murderz0r the cabbin would have depressurized nocking them all unconsisous, in the thin atmospheric air they probally all died from suffication and if they surrivied they would have all died on impact with water
@coolguy20000000 Sadly, the wreckage recovered of the crew compartment did not show signs of depressurization. The Mid-Deck floor was not buckled; it was intact. God only knows what it must have been like.
@imnotparanoid68 Yes this was terrible, but as the quote goes "Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."
He sounded quite stoic for something so severe, but then I guess either the shock of it happening or knowing he had countless people watching and had to keep his cool and maintain professionalism for everyone else's sake. Not that I would have cared more about a professional bearing and thought less of him if he HAD been more emotional in the heat of the moment.
@CrashB111 Yes, that's understandable. Naturally they didn't want to believe so quickly that those people just lost their lives before everyone's eyes.
I coordinated a case study for my MBA crisis management class, 15 years later. What I can recall from this case is that there was a signifcant difference in NASA culture from the Apollo generation to the Space Shuttle era. Frankly, it was more highly regarded almost religious dedication to detail and planning. By the time, the Shuttle came around there were too many Ivy League managers who were more concerned with business and selecting the lowest bidder which contributed to this disaster.
My dad and I were home watching this, I was 10 years old. I remember distinctly saying "Dad something isn't right, look!" and I touched the tv and the explosion happened. I totally freaked out.
Can't imagine what it must have been like in the control room, absolute horror for one... very hectic. Even worse for the families watching proudly as their loved ones blast into space... only to watch them die before their eyes. Technology has improved so much in the last few decades, the space shuttle is a technological marvel and I'm sad it's retiring but it really is quite antiquated by todays standards. Would be interesting to see what could be made today is NASA had the budget it once had.
@applesause1998 its true too it didnt expolde in the sence of the word it caught fire and the shuttle disingaged and flew at mach 2 speeds bellie up into the wind ripping it to shreds the crew was alive untill they hit the water crushing the cabbin and everything in side
I was 26 years old when this happened. I was sitting in an Emery Air Freight delivery van, eating lunch at a McDonald's a little before noon... I recall the horror at hearing the people inside the restaurant saying to one another "Did you hear about the space shuttle? It just blew up!" I immediately recalled feeling the same way, over 2 decades earlier, when I watched the bulletins on television saying that the president had been shot.
@cambridge1111 I was 16,home from school sick,watching the price is right,when they cut into it and announced it exploded,I called my mom @ work and told her she was like are you sure?I said yes it blew up,the teacher is dead
I was born in 82' so i was only 4 when this happened. And I don't want to sound horrible or mean, but I'm glad I was too young to remember this, cause I wouldn't want too....
My mother said when she saw this live in school her very first thought was that it had 'blasted into hyperspace' but then realised a split second later it exploded.
am i the only one that had their stomach drop when they saw it exlpode? like those peoople were probably so excited to be going into space .. and then it explodes. how tragic !!</3
@daredevil49937 Oh, I'm just so used to hearing conspiracy theorists say crazy shit like "If you turn your head slightly to the left and squint your eyes a little, you can see that a missile hit the space shuttle and that the whole space program is a fake." Sorry for misjudging you. All these years on the Internet has all but destroyed my faith in humanity.
I think what I found to be the most horrifying details is the fact that many schoolchildren were watching this event nationwide, including Christa McAuliffe's own students. That's just horrible.
I myself was only a few months old when this happened, but my mother tells me she was awake and watching it live when it happened. She said she couldn't grasp what had happened at first, but became hysterical as it sunk in and rushed to call my grandmother to see if she'd seen it too.
@slightlyoutofreach01 i remember the Columbia disaster. I was 8 when it happened. My parents were watching it on the news and I somewhat had a clue what was happening to it.
starting at 1:12 you can see how the leak in the SRB o-ring seal was causing the thrust to shift off axis and the main engines gimbaling to maintain control. Surreal.
what sucks is the engineers told them NOT to go, but mission control gave them the ok. Imbeciles. You work at NASA. You are launching ROCKETS. You need to abort the mission when an engineer even SNEEZES the wrong way.
@torker24 that's why people say obviously before making an obvious statement, so that people like you can't say "no... really?". All you said in detraction of the reporters statement was "obviously that is obvious". Which makes your statement redundant and stupid.
@FlamingBat I'm sure they were all thinking that they should have listened to the engineers of the SRBS that launch. Your brain basically probably goes into a mode of panic must be professional
@FlamingBat The dispatcher was so calm because he had no idea the Challenger had exploded. Nasa didn't have a live feed of the launch, they were getting all of their information from diagnostics aboard the rocket. I'm assuming from his end it went kind of like "Oh shit the numbers stopped. Malfunction dudes" when the spaceship had exploded.
@FlamingBat its because hes not watching the shuttle. hes just reading off flight data. he knew something was wrong when the data wasnt being retrieved anymore
A lot of people were watching this. The man speaking works for NASA and it is his job is to stay level and relay up-to-date information about the launch (be it successful or a completely unexpected tragedy) He needs to stay calm. NASA isn't going to want someone at mission control who acts like an announcer at a football game. The news and media will take over when it comes to emotion. Also keep in mind they really had no idea what happened at first.
@FlamingBat Because they were so used to the scripted takeoff. The idea of an explosion AFTER the vehicle had left the launch pad was simply unimaginable. If you look at the overall flight history before and after this tragedy you will see that this event was in the lower percentile of chance.
@FlamingBat that's because he wasn't looking at the live video pictures at that moment, he was looking at his instruments so that he could read off the necessary information about speed and distance.
@JRDMFilms 14 year old here, ashamed that I live in this time period, and some advice, use perfect or close to perfect grammar so the trolls don't just argue with that. "Just becaus you didn't grow up like this doesn't let you piss us"
@roycoolio2 not to much right now seeing as i would be dead. but they say that at least 2-3 of the astronauts were alive as the peices of the shuttle rained back down to earth

@slightlyoutofreach01 i remember the Columbia disaster. I was 8 when it happened. My parents were watching it on the news and I somewhat had a clue what was happening to it.

starting at 1:12 you can see how the leak in the SRB o-ring seal was causing the thrust to shift off axis and the main engines gimbaling to maintain control. Surreal.

what sucks is the engineers told them NOT to go, but mission control gave them the ok. Imbeciles. You work at NASA. You are launching ROCKETS. You need to abort the mission when an engineer even SNEEZES the wrong way.

"Obviously a major malfunction."
No... really?
torker24 8 months ago 6
@torker24 that's why people say obviously before making an obvious statement, so that people like you can't say "no... really?". All you said in detraction of the reporters statement was "obviously that is obvious". Which makes your statement redundant and stupid.

That's weird. The announcer didn't seem to have any reaction when the explosion happened.

@FlamingBat they couldn't make a reaction since this was broadcast live all over the world and 1st-8th graders saw this happen

Mjbrooks194 8 months ago
@Mjbrooks194 “One minute, fifteen seconds. Velocity 2900 feet per
second, altitude 9 nautical miles, down-range distance 7 nautical miles,” hardly seems like an appropriate response to seeing a shuttle blow up.

@FlamingBat I'm sure they were all thinking that they should have listened to the engineers of the SRBS that launch. Your brain basically probably goes into a mode of panic must be professional

@th3sp0rk Okay. I understand now.

@FlamingBat The dispatcher was so calm because he had no idea the Challenger had exploded. Nasa didn't have a live feed of the launch, they were getting all of their information from diagnostics aboard the rocket. I'm assuming from his end it went kind of like "Oh shit the numbers stopped. Malfunction dudes" when the spaceship had exploded.

A lot of people were watching this. The man speaking works for NASA and it is his job is to stay level and relay up-to-date information about the launch (be it successful or a completely unexpected tragedy) He needs to stay calm. NASA isn't going to want someone at mission control who acts like an announcer at a football game. The news and media will take over when it comes to emotion. Also keep in mind they really had no idea what happened at first.

@FlamingBat Its because he was watching a computer screen with numbers... the numbers were messed up, so his reaction is pretty understandable.

@FlamingBat the reaction was live, heart-breaking and so sudden. i would think it takes a bit to regroup on the situation.

@FlamingBat Because they were so used to the scripted takeoff. The idea of an explosion AFTER the vehicle had left the launch pad was simply unimaginable. If you look at the overall flight history before and after this tragedy you will see that this event was in the lower percentile of chance.
ShaneGentryRobb 6 months ago
@FlamingBat that's because he wasn't looking at the live video pictures at that moment, he was looking at his instruments so that he could read off the necessary information about speed and distance.
