Judge orders release of Challenger cockpit tapes
U S District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson ruled NASA must disclose cockpit tape recordings from the Challenger disaster. The decision follows New York Times arguments that the tape contains no personal information and thus should be released, though the government argued it would distress families. The Times filed under the Freedom of Information Act seeking the full tape found in the shuttle voice recorder after the 1986 explosion that killed seven astronauts. The ruling may be appealed to the D C Circuit Court of Appeals.
