I watched a four part docuseries on Netflix that told the story of how and why the Challenger failed. It's maddening to think of how that happened and that it could have been prevented if people weren't willful idiots.

The chilling part starts at 2:22. That's Story Musgrave, a physician and one of the most knowledgeable and accomplished NASA astronauts ever. 

Yes, I remember the series either hinting at or outright saying the crew survived the initial "blast" that dismantled everything but died at some point later. Or something like that.  

That makes it even worse. I felt bad for those families. The incompetence of NASA during that whole operation is unbelievable. The negligence. It just makes me sick.
