Four Nerve-Racking Space Shuttle Launch Aborts

switched.com — There have actually been four significant (and spine-chilling) aborts throughout NASA's history. Three of them occurred with the countdown timer at less than T-minus ten seconds, and one occurred nearly 400 seconds after a launch. Strap in, because we've got video of all of them.

  • keeprunning, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2have watched that twang video at least 5 times. so cool.
  • FitteMas, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2Argh.. the laws of physics be a harsh mistress
  • sjbdallas, on 06/22/2009, -0/+2In the first video: what's the deal with those 3 guys who immediately turned and started walking away. You've gone to the trouble to go out to a live shuttle launch, you see all the fire, then a ton of smoke and clearly something goes wrong but before the smoke even starts to clear you walk away?
  • DeskFlyer, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1What else would there be to watch besides the smoke clearing for the rest of the evening?
  • hareton1, on 06/22/2009, -0/+1Seconded.
