Major Malfunction

The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster shows danger signs overruled by a decision based on 'acceptable risk'.

This is one of the 10 DVDs in the acclaimed BBC series now available in a totally new format with expert training support material.
 
On 28 January 1986 at around 11:38 am local time, the Challenger Space Shuttle lifted off from the NASA Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. 73 seconds later the space vehicle exploded, claiming the lives of seven astronauts.The crew included a teacher, who was to have talked to school children from space, a vital factor in launching on a school day. A desperate struggle to delay the launch occurred based on the engineers' fears that vital 'O' ring rocket seals would fail at low temperatures.
