The latest episode of Inside The Black Box has been released, telling the story of STS-107 and the loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia on 1 February 2003.

The episode is in two parts:
- Part 1 focuses on the technical investigation
- Part 2 discusses the organisational factors.

@Doofer911 Cheers Joss, gie' us a shout if you ever want to work on that collaboration!

In case you don't know, the podcast has a YouTube channel which until recently just held the podcast episodes.

Now I've started adding video resources I found really useful during my research.

Regarding ads, there are none and there are no plans for any for now.

I have listened to other episodes in the genre and the ads are jarring, one I listened to on JAL123 had an advert for a shaver for your unmentionables after describing the accident sequence.

@Graydonskis asked if there was a donation option. I think I would only start asking for donations if I went part time at work to focus on the podcast. Otherwise I am in a fortunate financial position to do this for you for free.

@Graydonskis Hi thanks a lot for the kind words, makes the effort worthwhile. I have no donation option at the moment. I might start one if I drop to part time at work to work on the podcast more, otherwise I am in a fortunate financial position for now.

In each video I've also included the NASA transcript of the meeting and a brief synopsis of any discussion of the debris strike which takes place.

Hi everyone, I got round to editing those STS-107 Mission Management Team meetings and have made them all available on Youtube. Will post a thread with them all in below:

At this point I don't think they have the info from the Modular Auxiliary Data System so this would all have been based on the data relayed to Earth.

This is a really interesting video I found which appears to be from a press conference a few days after the loss of Columbia on 1 February.

It talks about the gradual failure of the sensors on the left wing:

@MarathonMike_ Wow, I had never heard of this, looks great.

@roadkill_phil asked yesterday about my plans for new episodes.

The four-hour episodes aren't sustainable given the time they take to research. Also there are few disasters with as much information as something like STS-107.

[Inside The Black Box @itbbpodcast]

There's quite a few industrial disasters which have the content needed for deep-dives and I really want to cover them. I'm confident those who are interested in aviation incidents will find them very interesting but just a heads-up.

Anyway, hope that sounds good to everyone.

[Inside The Black Box @itbbpodcast]

The plan is to work on more regular 1-1.5 hour episodes and in parallel choose a topic for deep-dive. I will work on one when I get bored of the other.

Also, the longer episodes will not necessarily be aviation- related so don't be disappointed when it comes out.

Just read the NTSB report on this - a runaway limousine that crashed at approximately 100mph due to brake failure. Well worth a read.
