- Wednesday marks 20 years since NASA’s Space Shuttle Columbia disaster that killed seven astronauts on board. On Feb. 1, 2003, the space shuttle was expected to land at 9:16 a.m. ET, but mission control in Houston lost contact with Columbia at around 9 a.m. ET. Shortly thereafter, debris was reported in the skies above Texas. The Columbia Accident Investigation Board later found the likely source of the accident was damage to the left wing caused by the left bipod foam ramp that broke off during takeoff. This damaged the protective tiles on the spacecraft and allowed hot gases to penetrate and melt major structural elements of the wing upon re-entry. Rick Husband, William McCool, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clark, and Ilan Ramon died in the tragedy. CBS anchor Russ Mitchell reported on the breaking story from the studio, joined by CBS News space consultant Bill Harwood at Kennedy Space Center.

My heart goes out to the families of those seven astronauts.
@Goku what is the point of your nasty disgusting and disrespectful response? Everyday we are alive, we take risks. Even crossing the street you could be a victim of a hit a run. Are you not supposed to show empathy for people?
@Goku that doesn't mean that you can't be remorseful lol
It's a little late for that.
@Goku How could you know to use ‘Knew’ but not use *their’ ???
@Goku The thing is, it would have gone right if NASA wasn't negligent. They knew something was wrong with Columbia, but they chose to not tell the astronauts and chose to not image the craft to see the damage. They were lazy and decided it would be too much work and that it would probably be fine. As a result, 7 people were needlessly killed.
My heart sank once the news reached South Africa. I remember being devastated for days. Which boy doesn't want to go to space. These guys are still my heroes.
I remember the day, Kalpana Chawla was a hero here in India and she still is. A hero and an inspiration to all of us. May they all rest in peace.
It is February 1st, 2003.
She begins her journey home.
Carrying a precious cargo, seven courageous travelers.
The dreams of mankind entrust her with their survival.
It is a dangerous path, but she is unafraid.
Her body becomes enveloped in a blazing carapace.
Many times before, she has made this journey, and has always completed it.
But not this time.
The fates do not grant her safe passage.
They have decided her life shall end here.
They demand her surrender, but she is not one to abdicate.
She must protect them.
For It is her solemn duty, her purpose.
The intensity of the flames increased.
Yet she stayed, seeing that her presence brought a peace of mind to those aboard her.
Like a mother hen draping her protective wings over her fragile chicks.
She knows she can’t defy the inexorable, but she must try.
For them.
The flames grew hotter still.
She fights, fighting the drag, fighting her destiny.
Home growing closer in her sights, and yet farther away.
The flames now pierce her carbon skin, the pain now overpowering.
She stayed as the atmosphere incinerated her.
She stayed protecting her children.
Embracing them closer than she ever had before.
Until, she can shield them no longer.
The angel has been clipped of her wings.
Her ashes are showered upon the earth.
Now, the streaks of orange and yellow have long since been erased from the sky.
And yet, if you know where to look, there you’ll see that she stayed as she sleeps.
With her children safely tucked gently under her wings.
- "The Journey Home", a free verse poem written by me.
Godspeed, Columbia and her crew.
Well said poet
Make a beat with a good singer
Very nice work
Your poem is painfully beautiful. I wish others could read this.
@@BelangerFamily09 You can share it elsewhere if you'd like, just credit me.
As a 50 yr old, this was the second space disaster incident seen on TV in my short life. Nothing though, could ever rise above the tragedy of watching 9/11 happen.
I'm still in awe over 911. What a tradegy.
Well, yeah. It's like comparing a fatal car crash to the titanic sinking.
Idk...respectively...this was worse then 9/11 (being) it wasn't pre planned.
All respect.
Wtf dude. Why even compare the two?
@@peggymacmillan5069 I would consider the amount of innocent lives lost to be the deciding factor for how bad something is.
I was 15 when this happened. Was on the phone with my dad who was overseas (he was an A-10 Warthog fighter pilot and this was right after 9/11, didn’t get to see him much) and we had the launch on TV. Mom gasped and I was stunned n I remember kinda stuttering into the phone “Uhh, dad? The shuttles gone?” And he said “What??” And mom took the phone from me. - feels like a lifetime ago. Prayers to those brave families who lost so much that day.. 😢
I was a kid when this happened & I remember I was watching some cartoon when the screen went black for a second then the news came on to report this.
I remember turning on the radio to check on the landing; living in FL, we would hear the sonic booms when the shuttle came home. When the booms were late, we turned on the radio to get updates. That’s when we all knew something was wrong.
It was also my oldest son’s 1st birthday.
5:52 he immediately identifies the reason the shuttle was lost.
I remember watching this broadcast and having flashbacks to watching the Challenger explode. When you look at all the utterly stupid things our society gets divided over today, it makes this tragedy even more tragic. Those seven astronauts came from various backgrounds, ethnic origins and political views, yet none of that mattered to them during their mission. Our petty divisions dishonor the brave men and women who lost their lives that day.
This footage looks so old I remember this vividly, I was about to turn 10 years that week, I had never seen something like that, it got stuck with me all this time.
Absolutely heartbreaking. May they Rest in Peace! Condolences always to family, friends, and the nation for their tragic loss.
I was there that morning seen it blowing up in the sky that morning. I was in northern Arizona that morning.
Omg that must have been sad to see. Did you see it by chance or where you waiting to lay eyes on it?
I was 10 when this happend and I remember it vividly.
I lived through this. I called family in Texas to tell them about it.
Yet today, I am hearing it for the first time AGAIN.
How is this even possible? How could I have forgotten this?
This is just sad r.i.p to all the people that passed away God bless them and their families.
I remembered this day🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Bless them... They should have taken the satellite images.. It would have been a space walk.. At least a chance.. I'm glad they are back to the Apollo design.. My great grandfather bought parts for an Apollo mission when he worked at Rockwell.. Not a huge thing but I'm proud... Hugs fellow humans.. 🇺🇦🇺🇸🌎✌
I was ten when this happened and in school we are doing a lesson about space and we were watching the coverage of this Landing it was heartbreaking then and it's still heartbreaking today
May their souls rest in peace.
Oh my
Russ Mitchell 💝
RIP Astronauts 🇺🇸
20 years
If Columbia had not been destroyed on this mission then it would have been launched on STS 118 on November 13, 2003 to deliver the S5 Truss Segment to ISS. It would have been Columbia's first and likely only time going to the ISS. Endeavour was launched on STS 118 on August 8, 2007.
George Santos was a backup astronaut in the Challenger Space Mission. Also, he fought alongside Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo.
Those are things Biden claimed.
Super Santos was back up for Columbia too.
@@superoldgamesaturday3277 Trump said it first.
Santos, Trump and Biden are all breathtaking liars.
Little Mammoth Media did The Big Space Shuttle video during the STS 83 and STS 94 flights before the Columbia accident 6 years later.
Such a shame they knew this would happen and couldn’t do anything. They weren’t in full panic because the engineers all knew this shuttle had to no chance of making it back safely. I’m sure they did all they could, but make no mistake, they knew the astronauts would not survive and chose to not tell them after the problematic take off. I have a lot of pride in NASA but I will always question the decision to not tell the astronauts.
At 6:00, he nails the cause of the accident.
I was 10 years old at the time this happened.
Same! Helloooo dirty 30 👋 😉
RIP American heroes
Horrendous moment since 9/11.. those poor astronauts..
Where is Santos?
That lady who was suppose to be backup for christa and then on the Columbia was the luckiest woman alive.
The shuttle was a death trap change my mind
No need to change your mind. Because you’re completely correct.
Sure, so is any aircraft you fly in or even your car when in motion. Those of us who fly or drive accept the risk of something going wrong or someone else being very irresponsible. One day we’ll look at the original shuttle like we look at a Model T Ford today.
The Space Shuttle was an amazing system, but for every positive, it had at least 1 negative in return. Among them was what doomed Columbia, the side mounted shuttle position to reuse the RS-25 engines.
Idiot
How many missions did it run?
How many failed?
How many airplanes have crashed? Does that mean planes are a death trap even though its widely regarded as the safest form of travel?
😥😥😥
I was in the hospital when this happened.
Great!
Bonsoir
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Nice click bait. All this is is two talking heads guessing about what happened.
Can we get an L in the chat
But yet, THEY CLAIM THEY WENT TO THE MOON. HOW this is the second time this has happened. So, how they got to the moon then. So they say
CBS News, when will you stop stretching your 4:3 pictures out of shape? Don't stretch them; don't crop them: just leave them as your skilled producers intended them. Stop patronizing us with gimmicks we don't want.
At least ppl haven't died under Elon Musk's Space X
In 2003 many teen girls got pregnant and had babies.
Aborted too.
