Subtitled last tape from the cockpit crew on the fatal re-entry. Space Shuttle Columbia STS-107 was lost on its 28th mission
HQ version HERE: http://youtu.be/_rIHdk-_UoM …. The only surviving minutes on a piece of tape found on the ground ( +BBC in/outro) .. . . .►more info ►
Among the 80.000 recovered items later found on the ground was this videotape recording made by the astronauts during the start of re-entry. The 13-minute recording shows the flight crew astronauts conducting routine re-entry procedures and joking with each other. None gives any indication of a problem.
In this video, the flight-deck crew puts on their gloves and passes the video camera around to record plasma and flames visible outside the windows of the orbiter (a normal occurrence).
This recording, which on normal flights would have continued through landing, ends about four minutes before the shuttle began to disintegrate and 11 minutes before Mission Control lost the signal from the orbiter

Pilot said i wouldnt want to be outside 5 mis later they were awful ?
I wonder went really went wrong. How tragic?
Where are the recordings and transcripts of all the shuttle radio transmissions that took place between the time they entered California and the last transmission of "Roger, uh?" NASA sources are saying there was communication from the crew that they were recognizing and communicating all the problems that were going wrong.
ok. i bet theres extra footage if this i swear!
So brave & courageous. They knew they were in trouble. It was a race against time. They could see the glow of the nose burning and pieces exploding so they knew what was going on. As they continue re-entry the light inside the cockpit increases. That is the underbelly of the nose burning up, hotter and hotter until the amount of light/glow inside the cockpit is high. They had to know they were in deep trouble. At 6:56 one of crew comments 'It looks like a blast furnace'. It is natural for heat build up on the belly from re-entry but not to the extent it was on this voyage. It may not seem apparent, but I wonder if one or two onboard knew they were in trouble. R.I.P. all those brave & courageous astronauts.
columbia -houston ..uhf com check… you can feel the stress coming from that flight controller.. it's not his fault but he thinks it is….
Such an ouchful situation.Seeing Kalpana passionate and hearing last words make me emotional.MAY SHE EXPECTS A SAFE LANDING BUT THE WORST HAPPEN TO HER.
So so so frightful.. especially that lightning effect from the reentry.. heart goes out to these heroes ????
One of the most horrible ND sadest moment of the world???
The ladies on board all seemed to be prattling – not taking it seriously – too relaxed.
What is up with the gloves?
I remember that just about as well as I do with 911. They died doing what they loved.
Rest in pieces
las imagenes del minuto 9.12 son reales?
Selfies and talking gibberish…the way a woman should die. RIP
may all their souls rest in peace.
may all their souls rest in peace.
Rip. First the Challenger then Columbia. Hopefully they dont use a LETTER C for the next shuttle name.
You don’t want to hear lock the doors
Ahhhhh, space. How cool. Looks like they're having the time of their lives
Good for them
God bless Columbia crew,families and friends, I'm so sorry for your loss……
Im 3years old, this disaster
How come the shuttle is moving forward at high Mach numbers and the explosion is blowing outward sideways not blowing in a streak backwards? You would think it is moving faster than a mile per second. So in 1 second the flash would be about a mile behind it. Curious.
They're all alive and well. Google it. Uneducated bastards.
Any link to the view of this tragedy? ?
It would be funny if the door locks malfunctioned too.
0:00 where did you find that launch from cockpit view
So close but yet so far what a Damm shame may they all rest in peace my sympathy goes out to there familys
I love how many know-it-alls and you-dont-know-jacks comment on YouTube. ?
You will be missed the people that risked there life’s just for us to see the moon and stuff. ????
I remember waking up every morning when I was 12 & watching the livestreams of the crew. I was always obsessed with space (as most young boys are) & it was incredible following that crew on their trip beyond our small rock we call home. I'll always remember my mom waking me up that Saturday morning, telling me that the shuttle had just exploded on re-entry & all of those people I admired were killed.
The moneypit for M.I.T and Cal Tech eggheads….NASA is a sham…..always was….complete waste of taxpayers moolah.lol.…"looks like a blast furnace. "
Porra carlho look into it
It didn't "explode," it broke apart.
I can tell from this short clip she had annoyed the crap out of him
Not to be that guy but it seems like we have a lot less space exploration disasters when women are not part of the crew.
Well it makes you think is it all worthwhile, we have enough shit on earth to sort out never mind outer space
They knew that the wing was damaged. Sad they didn’t realise it would be fatal. Had they been told the truth they could have launched a rescue mission.
now 2019
So what happened to make them crash?
Rip 🙁
Chilling.
Primitive technology USA
They died doing what they loved. That’s a good thing.
Respected NASA,
KINDLY upload the complete video of the tragedy, this tragedy start with damage in left wing of shuttle and ended with death of the " heroes of the nation "
Those were bad ideas and dangerous from the start.
They are trained to remain calm no matter what. As to not panic each other. Sadly one or all of them knew at what point they were doomed. Maybe as early as "its really getting bright out there". At that point they are really hoping for a divine miracle… but again don't want to scare each other.
