Not going to read through 9 pages, but I read that the capsule the astronauts were in actually survived the blast and the crew actually plummeted to death while still alive and trying to pull the parachutes on the capsule.

I was in Disney World that day. I was 5 months old, so I don't remember shite.

My dad still talks about it, you could very clearly see the vapor trail going up from Orlando. The rocket went up, then he heard people gathered in one of the restaurants going nuts, "It blew up!"

I was at LSU, skipping class and watching the soaps when it was breaking news. Such a sad day
