Scott Manley | Reconstructing The Columbia Space Shuttle Disaster - Learning Lessons From The Largest Crash Site @scottmanley | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 days ago
On February 1st 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia broke up during reentry killing all 7 crew. Commander Rick Husband, Pilot William McCool,
Mission Specialists David Brown, Kalpana Chalwa and Michael Anderson
Payload Specialists Laurel Clark and Ilan Ramon.
The debris recovery operation also claimed the lives of Jules F. Mier Jr & Charles Krenek
20 years on, we've not only solved the problems and moved on to new spacecraft, but learned more about how to make spacecraft accidents of this type more survivable.
All of this information is published in the Columbia Accident Investigation Report results:
https://history.nasa.gov/columbia/CAIB.html
There's also a later Crew Survivability report
https://www.nasa.gov/pdf/298870main_SP-2008-565.pdf
And Aeromedical Lessons Learned from the
STS-107 Columbia Space Shuttle Mishap
https://www.asma.org/asma/media/asma/Travel-Publications/NASA%20Shuttle/SP-2014-616.pdf
There's also 'Bringing Columbia Home: The Untold Story of a Lost Space Shuttle and Her Crew' which covers stories about the recovery and reconstruction
