The Challenger Disaster: Lost Tapes

On January 28, 1986, the unthinkable happened: the Space Shuttle Challenger, carrying seven crew members, including Christa McAuliffe, the first civilian to be launched into space, broke apart just 73 seconds after liftoff. The tragic event was broadcast live on television, shocking the nation and the world. Thirty years later, this powerful special retraces the events surrounding the mission, using never-before-seen footage and interviews with those who were there. Without narration or interviews, the story is told through the voices of the journalists who covered the event, extensive recordings from NASA, and archived interviews with McAuliffe and other key figures. Join us as we take you behind the scenes of this historic tragedy, in a way that's never been seen before.
