A Haunting tale, well told

In searching around today for information about the Challenger accident, I found the following article. It's written by Jay Barbree, space corespondent for NBC for over 40 years. He's seen pretty much everything that's ever gone up at the Cape. I must warn that the series is disturbing and emotional, but it's very well written and one of the best series on the flight I've ever seen. Here's the link: Challenger Story
