HILF 46 - The Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster with Adam Andreasen

When Challenger broke apart shortly after launch over Cape Canaveral, seven people died. The most well-known to the American public was Christa McAuliffe, a school teacher. She had won a well-publicized national search, making her something of an American Celebrity - especially among school children, many of whom watched the tragic launch from their classrooms.
