"Accidents in Space" examines in compelling detail what went wrong and why in each catastrophe, or near-catastrophe that has occurred since the American and Russian space programs were established. It is the "black box" of space accidents, showing the unfortunate chains of events that led to death, destruction or heart-stopping near misses, such as the time Apollo 12 was struck twice by lightning as it launched. Using rare archive film and powerful and chilling testimony, "Accidents in Space" looks beyond the horrors of the Challenger explosion, Apollo 13 and the fire on Apollo 1 to examine the unreported and the unknown.
