That is absolute BS.
The cockpit was in pieces from 51-L.
There was no way a "switch" could have been thrown in the context of the Challenger recovery program and to allege that impropriety exists in the manner of the recovery is outrageous.

I am going by memory. Back from a time that I didn't even watch the news. But what I have reported here is true.
That being said...I have no earthly idea if what I have reported is factual.
But I THINK I have seen other reports about "Switches being thrown".
And just so you know...I am about as big of an anti-conspiracy nut as you'll find.

Agreed, Bones. Snopes.com has a section on "urban legends" with regard to the
Challenger disaster -- apparently a lot of them got going with a "story" crafted out of whole-cloth in the
Weekly World News! Very sad day, but they "boldly went," didn't they?

It is my understanding the crew compartment, a pressure vessel within the air frame, survived the Challenger explosion. I'm not sure about impact details.
