The coverup was not entirely unsuccessful.  Feynman did manage to break 
through and get his dissenting remarks on NASA reliability estimates 
into the report (as well as into Physics Today), but the coverup did 
succeed in keeping most people ignorant of the fact that the astronauts 
did not die until impact with the ocean despite a Miami Herald story 
pointing that out to its mostly-regional audience. 

Did you ever see a picture of the crew compartment?
