Safety Board outlines Challenger salvage findings
CAPE CANAVERAL Fla AP Challenger crew cabin survived the breakup and fall into the ocean yet experts believe the seven astronauts died as the shuttle disintegrated. A safety investigator said the nose section held together until impact, while investigators seek the booster joint and note high gravity forces likely killed the crew instantly. Debris is laid out in hangars for examination as salvaged components and remains are identified.
