Yesterday, Thursday, American “NASA” confirmed what became urgent news about what divers found buried last March in the sands of the seabed near the Atlantic Ocean off the east coast of Florida, where the area is an extended part of “Bermuda”. represented ”surrounded by terrifying and confusing stories, widespread In the sixties and seventies of the last century, planes and ships disappeared when one of them flew over its waters or sailed there.
What the divers found was a large chunk of the Challenger shuttle, carrying 7 American astronauts, all killed when it exploded 73 seconds after takeoff on January 28, 1986 from Cape Canaveral in Florida, Al Arabiya.net reported. what could be considered the greatest disaster NASA has been exposed to so far in its history, and we find an excerpt, which brings the memory below 37 years after the tragedy.
Among the dead was 37-year-old Christa McAuliffe, chosen by NASA from among the 11,000 who had asked to participate in the flight, who, if it had happened, would have become the first teacher and first civilian to go into space, who wanted to offer a ‘ classroom from orbit to his students on Earth.
However, the mother of two of her husband, who was a classmate of hers, and we see her second left in the video, planned something and fate wanted another one for her, so her story was the most shocking to the feelings of Americans, to the point that “NASA” has since changed its plans to send civilians into space. In 2004, the teacher received the “Medal of Honor” from Congress.
Notify the families of the dead
As for the piece found, it is 4.5 meters wide and 4.5 “long and could be larger, because some of them are covered with sand, and since there are squares of thermal tiles on the shuttle, it is likely that it was from its stomach, “according to Michael Cianelli, a NASA official. The wreck of the Challenger, in an interview with a space agency editor, said that “what the divers and families of the seven deceased shuttles the crew members have found is one of the largest pieces that have been found. we have never found and will remain the property of the US government, “he said.
Divers first spotted the piece during their search last March for a WWII plane wreck, and when the echo of what they spotted reached space “NASA”, it paid close attention. to their monitoring and quickly investigated it, until it was confirmed through the video clip that what appeared Divers are actually part of the shuttle, which the American History Channel will show in a documentary on November 22.
