Shuttle burial
Almost a year after the Challenger shuttle disaster, N.A.S.A. workers have begun burying the craft’s twisted wreckage at an abandoned missile silo complex. When the job is completed in about two months, the twin silos at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station will each be covered with a five-ton concrete slab, leaving Challenger’s remains sealed in an unmarked tomb 30m underground. — Cape Canaveral, Florida.
