The part of the spaceshuttle the crew from the challenger were sitting in landed in the ocean upon explosion and all 7 crew members were found inside dead.
Yes, the bodies of the space shuttle Challenger disaster were recovered. The remains of the seven crew members were found in the debris after the shuttle disintegrated in mid-air during launch in 1986.
The bodies of the seven crew members aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger were recovered after the shuttle disintegrated in a tragic accident in 1986. The remains were found in the debris field in the Atlantic Ocean.
All of the bodies were recovered, but it was never determined how the astronauts died. It is assumed they died due to the impact with the ocean, and not the explosion itself.

The debris from Space Shuttle Challenger is buried under a missile silo in Cape Canaveral AFB in Merritt Island, Florida. The remains are buried in 2 underground 80 ft. deep minuteman missile silos on abandoned launch complex 31/32.
After the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, Navy divers recovered the remains of the astronauts from the debris in the ocean where the shuttle broke apart. The remains were found once the wreckage settled on the ocean floor, and the recovery operation was carried out in a respectful and solemn manner.
Yes - all of the crew remains were recovered when the Shuttle Crew Compartment was discovered during recovery operations in the weeks following the accident. It was determined from both evidence in the compartment and autopsies that several were still alive after the explosion (emergency oxygen canisters had been activated) and that they survived until impacting the ocean.
Yes, the bodies of the Challenger crew were found after the space shuttle disaster on January 28, 1986. Recovery efforts in the days following the explosion located the crew compartment, and the remains of the seven astronauts were ultimately recovered from the Atlantic Ocean. The investigation into the accident revealed critical insights about the failure of the O-rings in the solid rocket boosters.
No, there are no publicly available photos of the Challenger crew's bodies. Following the tragic disaster of the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986, recovery operations were conducted with great care and respect for the astronauts. The remains were treated with dignity, and the privacy of the families was prioritized, leading to a decision not to release any images.
Space Shuttle Columbia is not buried. I think you mean Space Shuttle Challenger, which in buried in two minutemen missile silos on the abandoned Launch complex 31. Space Shuttle Columbia remains are stored on the 16th floor of the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center.
They were found in the crew cabin on the Atlantic Ocean floor off the coast of Florida.
