第7页 一 陶媛 ❈ On that day, Washington National Airport(DCA) was closed by a heavy snowstorm. It reopened at noon under marginal conditions as the snowfall began to slacken. That afternoon, the plane was to return to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Dania, Florida. The scheduled departure time was delayed about 1 hour and 45 minutes because of a backlog of arrivals and departures caused by the temporary closing of Washington National Airport. As the plane was readied for departure from DCA, a moderate snowfall continued. ❈ The Boeing 737 had a ground service agreement with Air Florida. That agreement specified that covers for the pitot tubes, static ports and engine inlets had to be used, but the American Airlines employees did not comply with those rules

第8页 一 马明睿 🔥Technical reasons The immediate cause of challenger's failure was a problem with a joint （连接处）between two parts on the right rocket motor. Specifically, the seal ring（密封圈），which was designed to prevent hot jet fuel from escaping from the joint, was damaged. 💥Real reason Problems with decision making There were serious errors in the decision to fly on time, to save costs and to fly safely. NASA （美国航空局）chose the former, a big mistake. NASA has not considered which is more important. NASA would rather fly the flawed vehicle than accept the 27-month plan. "I think we took a risk every time," Morloy recalls. "we also took a risk on January 28 from the time the corrosion（腐蚀）was discovered." This is the behavior of a gambler.
