I believe that what made the tragic story of the Challenger such a horrific catastrophy is the fact that the accident should have been easily prevented had it not been for the egos of NASA officials.
For example, CAIB member, Roger Tetrault, had the philosophy of, "prove me that there's something wrong.." So in effect, the personal trustworthiness of NASA leaders was not where it should have been. There was an extreme lack of concern for the safety of agents involved, therefore, the other space agents couldn't trust the organization they worked for.
Also, engineer Roger Boisjoly, warned officials of the dangers he saw and consequences, but was ignored! How can employees trust their organization if not taken seriously? On the review panel, there should have been someone to represent the interests of the space agents.
