No one really realized it but sixteen days earlier during takeoff, a piece of the shuttle had broken off and seriously damaged the aircraft.
It is the tragic fate of an extraordinary rocket that we are going to tell you about.
How could a few grams of foam lead to the disintegration of this 68-ton space engine?
Why could this accident not have been anticipated?
Why was no rescue mission planned?
Thanks to the technical expertise of the greatest astronauts and the federal agents responsible for the investigation, but also thanks to the testimonies of the families, we will decipher every second of this disaster.
We will try to understand how the Columbia shuttle, considered the flagship of American aerospace, could have transformed into a ball of fire out of control...

Suits didn't listen to the engineers. That's why we lost Challenger and Columbia. Gross incompetent negligence from bureaucrats.

Idk how the algorithm gave me this weird french/english documentary but I'm here till the end now.

300 million dollars to pick up debris but wouldn't spend a couple of million to take a photo from a military satellite that without NASA most likely wouldn't be up there.

I was in Dallas the morning the Columbia broke up. I was in the parking lot of Flight Safety International at the DFW Airport. I was late to ground school class as I stood there watching this machine break apart. I will never forget that horrible day.

Astronaut Kalpana Chawla’s smile makes me sad every time I see her 😢 RIP

"An accident some years previous..."??? What an odd way to describe the Challenger disaster.

I remember that morning. I’d had to leave my car in a public lot overnight due to mechanical trouble. I narrowly avoided having it towed. Once I finally had it at the garage, I checked it in and crashed in the waiting room. I rested my eyes for a few minutes, then opened them to see the television playing. Columbia’s crew picture covered the entire screen and in that moment, I knew something had happened. I later had to max out my credit card to pay for the repairs, but it didn’t matter. I was still here. Those astronauts were gone. It was a terrible day.

53:45 On that day in 2003, i was driving to work on FM 1960 in NW Houston. It was a beautiful bluebird day! At approximately 9am, something made me look off to my left... and I saw what appeared to be silver glitter falling from the sky.... a few minutes later, i walked into the workplace, and found everyone looking at a tv.... news flash about the shuttle! It was then that I knew what I had seen! OMG! tragic moments I will never forget!!! 😢

No one really wants to talk about it, but the more I hear about the last moments of Columbia, the more I'm convinced that the crew knew they were doomed and were definitely conscious and felt physical pain at the end, if only for a couple of seconds.

What on excellent documentary. Very impressed with all the details and the honesty of those people on the ground.

The most disgusting thing about all of this (outside of the obvious) is, in that letter from nasa to Columbia the person wrote, "Just one thing, it's not even worth mentioning, but, in case a reporter asks..". Like are you freaking serious. That is a someone trying to save face for nasa. Period. Disgusting.

Thank you for using the footage that I shot of Columbia in this documentary.

it's so stupid that something bad always has to happen before we can do something about it. I know that's how we learn, but when you think about it, it's sad to think this way

I bought my first semi 3 months before this happened. The night before this my engine threw 2 rods out of the block and I ended up in Columbia, Mo at a hotel. I remember waking up the next morning and turned on the TV to the news and thought "Why are they showing footage of the Challenger?" then seen that it was Columbia. I, like most people, was in shock that it happened again. R.I.P. to the crew and peace for their families.

Speed and velocity have so much power. A little piece of foam travelling hundreds of miles and hour can do so much damage. Same as when people think planes can just ditch in the water and be fine, at the speed the plane is travelling, hitting the water is like slamming into concrete. When the plane landed on the Hudson, it was a miracle landing, due to the captain’s skills.

The difference between the Challenger disaster and Columbia was significant. With the Challenger disaster lessons were learnt particularly as regards to the O rings and their susceptibility to weakness in very cold weather. The Columbia disaster on the other hand showed a fundamental flaw in the very design of the space shuttle , something which was overlooked right from the get go. Foam falling from the main booster rocket and striking the space shuttle was a common occurrence on lift off. It happened so often over the decades it became routine to the point that not much significance was paid to it. U can actually see tiles missing from various space shuttles on their return to Earth. The common perception amongst many was well.. it's only foam right? what possible danger can foam pose to the shuttle and the crew? How wrong they were. It was only after the Columbia accident that tests were performed which showed in fact foam falling and striking the space shuttle can indeed prove fatal. The foam which hit Columbia was larger than what was anticipated and hit a vulnerable part of the undercarriage of the left wing allowing plasma to penetrate it on reentry. It really was only luck a Columbia type disaster didn't happen decades earlier. What's particularly eerie was the video showing the crew preparing for reentry was not a live stream by NASA but a hand held recorder from a fellow astronaut which survived the reentry and was found in a paddock in working order.

NASA was advised that it might be wise to divert to make a pass by a satellite to get some images of the impact area to see if there was damage and they opted not to do that. NASA was advised to postpone the launch of Challenger because the temperature had dropped to freezing and the o-rings would fail. They opted to pressure MortonThiokol to override their engineers who built the boosters and was pushing to postpone the launch because the cold would prevent the rubber o-rings from sealing the joints between the booster segments. Two Shuttles and two crews vanished for negligence
