You actually didn’t watch people get blown up live. The crew survived the fire blast—it was the crash into the water ~3 mins later that killed them.

Well they still got blown up didn’t they?

Nope. The survived an explosion, fell a few miles, and got crushed inside the capsule and killed by g forces upon hitting the water...

But doesn’t surviving an explosion imply that they did in fact get exploded? Just cause it ain’t kill em doesn’t mean they didn’t go through it

So, blown down

[–] bennypr0fane@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

How does anyone about that in such detail?

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

They didn't get blown up. The Challenger did.

That would surely have made us feel better lmao! Still, that's an interesting fact.
