Allan McDonald, an engineer at Morton Thiokol, bravely attempted to prevent the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986. He raised concerns about the O-ring seals in cold weather, warning that they could fail and cause a catastrophic explosion. Despite his warnings, NASA and his own company pushed ahead with the launch. Tragically, McDonald’s fears came true when Challenger broke apart just 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven crew members aboard, including teacher Christa McAuliff
