...ruptured but not completely destroyed. The lower mid-deck, where Astronauts Ronald McNair and Gregory Jarvis and New Hampshire Schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe had been seated, apparently absorbed the full force of the blast from the shuttle's huge external fuel tank and was nearly obliterated. The upper flight deck, where the commander, Francis Scobee, as well as Astronauts Michael Smith, Ellison Onizuka and Judith Resnik were seated, was still partly intact.

About 20 states will be affected by the shifts, with political power continuing to migrate from the Northeast and upper Midwest to California, Florida, Texas and other conservative Sunbelt states. The battle for statehouses and Governors' mansions will determine which party gets the advantage in redrawing congressional district lines in key states.
