Such a bureaucratic failure. It seems so obvious. Maybe we shouldn't launch the space shuttle under a hard freeze... Can't listen to the engineers who know what they're talking about.

This is a very good and relatively brief documentary on the launch.

Shows the icicles on the LC-39B pad structure, the puff of smoke from the failed O-ring @ T-0, the ensuing plume from the RH SRB field joint, and the eventual Challenger breakup from aeroloads, not an explosion. For you engineer types, very interesting stuff.
