S02E01 Columbia's Last Flight (Space Shuttle Columbia)

On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia embarks on its re-entry to Earth. Tragically, the mission takes a devastating turn as the shuttle disintegrates mid-air, claiming the lives of all seven astronauts aboard. In the aftermath, investigators uncover a minor issue that arose during the shuttle's launch sixteen days prior. This discovery leads them to believe they may have identified a potential cause for the catastrophic failure.
