PULL TOGETHER CONTINGENCY CHECK 
LIST AND THE FAILURE 
INVESTIGATION BOARD.
>> ON THE LEFT PART OF THE 
SCREEN, A LIVE PICTURE IS WHAT 
IT LOOKS LIKE NOW.
ON THE RIGHT PART OF THE SCREEN,
YOU SEE THE EXPLOSION.
THE ROCKET JUST EXPLODING ON 
TAKEOFF, FIVE OR SIX OR SEVEN 
MINUTES AGO.
IT SIMPLY TOOK OFF.
THIS IS THE RESUPPLY MISSION TO 
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
WE'RE LISTENING TO THE AUDIO 
FROM NASA TV AS IT EXPLODED OVER
THERE.
THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT 
PRECISELY WHAT HAPPENED.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING 
ABOUT 5,000 POUNDS OF NASA CARGO
ABOARD THIS ROCKET TO THE 
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
TAKING OFF FROM THE WALLOPS 
FLIGHT FACILITY IN EASTERN 
VIRGINIA.
WITHIN SECONDS OF TAKEOFF, YOU 
SAW WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU SAW THE EXPLOSION AND I'M 
SURE THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE 
OUT WHAT'S GOING TO RIGHT NOW.
IF THIS LAUNCH HAD WORKED OUT 
THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK 
OUT, A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE EAST
COAST OF THE UNITED STATES, 
MILLIONS POTENTIALLY, COULD HAVE
SEEN THIS ROCKET TAKING OFF.
IT JUST TACK OFF ON THE RIGHT 
PART.
AND NOW YOU LOOK AT THE 
EXPLOSION.
ONCE AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN, AN 
UNMANNED ROCKET THAT WAS 
CARRYING ABOUT 5,000 POUNDS OF 
QUIRNLGT SPLAS FOR THE 
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION 
SHOWED THATTED MOMENTS AGO.
THERE YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT PART 
OF THE SCREEN.
YOU SEE IT TAKING OFF.
THERE IS THE ROCKET.
WATCH THIS.
