Photos of the space shuttle Challenger's smashed crew cabin were released Sunday by NASA after a New York man obtained them under the federal Freedom of Information Act. NASA said 45 photos showing parts of the wreckage became public documents after they were released to New York artist Ben Sarao on Feb. 3. Sarao released the photos to The New York Times. The pictures were taken after the crew cabin was recovered from the Atlantic Ocean in 1986.
