What is even more horrifying is that the astronaut's cabin remained intact after the explosion. They were all believed to be alive when they hit the water. The best anyone can hope for is that they were unconscious due to the cabin depressurizing.

The evidence led experts to conclude the seven astronauts lived. They worked frantically to save themselves through the plummeting arc that would take them 2 minutes and 45 seconds to smash into the ocean.
That is when they died — after an eternity of descent.

I've heard it was a possibility they were alive prior to impact but never knew it was a probability. How awful

Crazy that they were alive all the way down.

I remember watching John Glenn go into space on tv at school.
