The challenger incident needs to have a movie made about it. Maybe more, of a high-end documentary.

@xXDEICIDE216Xx

well, would be a short movie. i mean there isn´t very much potential. 73 seconds of a shuttle launch and a big boom and then. but anyways, yeah it really would deserves it

I don't get why if the SRBs were the problem and what ultimately caused the explosion then why didn't they explode too? NASA had to detonate them.

@PRSOV

the srb gaskets were frozen and instable due to the enorm coldness

when they launched the fire went through the gasket and the little flame that went through that gasket rankled itself like a blowtorch through the outer skin from the external tank

after a few seconds the flame was through the external tank and then it ignited the whole fuel in the tank

the shuttle seperated uncontrolled and as the shuttle pitched the water the astronauts died due to the extreme hard impact greetings

@dickunddoof122 ah that'll explain it, thanks!

@PRSOV After the bottom SRB attachment fitting failed, the SRB rotated into the tank causing structural failure which caused the liquid fuels to burn. (not really an explosion). The SRB's are steel for the most part and more robust. The flight deviation did not cause them to break up like the tank and orbiter. They also have solid fuel. The wind sheer and the deviation from flight was too much for the tank and orbiter.
