NASA Challenger Disaster

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Some startling evidence regarding the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster is convincingly presented in this video. Apparently, engineers knew that the launch was risky due to the low temperatures in Florida leading up to the launch. Under great pressure from the parent company, the launch was approved and the engineers worst fears were realized 73 seconds after lift off. An excellent video!
