Challenger Disaster
“Kennedy Space Center, January 28, 1986, 11:39 AM. The Space Shuttle Challenger breaks apart in twin plumes of vapor 73 seconds into flight. Foreground shows Christa McAuliffe's family in the bleachers staring upward in shock; midground reveals a NASA controller in horn-rimmed glasses watching the sky; the cold blue Florida sky is bisected by a forking white smoke trail above the still-firing solid rocket boosters.”
