It had never happened before, they probably saw the spectacular plume and assumed it was the normal separation of the solid rocked boosters.
i think from up close it was really hard to figure out what happened at first
and remember, they were on the loudspeaker talking about separating the stages, so they may have thought that was what occured.
wonder what happened to the teachers family. did he ever remarry. did she have kids? How was she chosen?
The husband remarried in 1992 and I think the daughter went on to be a teacher herself.
Sadly, the teacher's father, the older gentleman in the video, died of cancer in 1990. The mother blamed his acellerated demise over the grief of losing his daughter.

He re-married in less than a year.

i'll never forget that guy calling the sequence of events. here the thing exploded and instead of saying "oh my god, or, holy shit the thing blew up" he remained professional throughout the whole thing. balls of steel.

Quite possibly. He was certainly banging the chick before his wife was vaporized.

Morton Thiokol warned NASA the O-rings weren't reliable at very cold temperatures. NASA launched anyway.

It does what km.as.a.dot does with money, but with heat - loses it.

The next day at school we prayed to God that the families of the lost loved ones would be o.k. Different time back them. Much worse now.
