Newspaper Revisits Its Coverage of the Challenger Disaster
Original: As It Appeared in The Spirit: The Challenger disaster
The Punxsutawney Spirit is revisiting how it reported the 1986 Challenger disaster, republishing its coverage from the day the space shuttle broke apart shortly after launch, killing all seven crew members aboard. The look back recalls the shock of the accident, which was watched live by millions including schoolchildren tuned in for teacher Christa McAuliffe's flight, and remains one of the defining moments of the American space program.
Why now: Anniversary-style retrospectives on the Challenger disaster continue to draw attention as readers revisit how the tragedy was reported at the time.
