WCVB at 50: The Challenger Disaster

As we continue to mark 50 years of WCVB -- we remember moments that united us, sometimes in grief. New England celebrated when Christa McAuliffe was selected out of educators nationwide to become the first teacher in space. We followed her training -- caught up in the Framingham native's own excitement. We mourned with her family when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded not long after liftoff.
