At 4:57 are those the bodies of the crew burning up? I don't want to sound rude. Scary thought. God Bless them and their families.

I never thought of that way, but I guess it is.

what was too funny???? Our astronauts disenigrating, losing the shuttle, not sure where the humor lies in this event, oh the car alarm going off?? hahaha you have a weird sense of what is deemed funny..

okay, i lost my comment, but the three remaining shuttles are: Atlantis, Endeavour, & Discovery... The two that are lost are: Challenger (Jan 1986) & Columbia( Feb 2003)

the o-ring caused expansion & the leak on the Challenger, & the tile damage to the wing caused it to ultimately come apart,piece by piece, until a leak into the cabin at great speed & the surrounding heat & fire as they were re-entering at such a high rate of speed caused all to burn up in a matter of seconds..
