Disturbing reading, but refreshing in it's candor. 400 pages, with a small redacted portion (that no doubt refers to clinical aspects that you don't want to read anyway). The modeling data and graphs are sufficient in that regard.

Puts some closure on the whole unfortunate accident.

"The question to ask is whether the risk of traveling to space is worth the benefit. The answer is an unequivocal yes, but not only for the reasons that are usually touted by the space community: the need to explore, the scientific return, and the possibility of commercial profit. The most compelling reason, a very long-term one, is the necessity of using space to protect Earth and guarantee the survival of humanity."
William E. Burrows, The Wall Street Journal, 2003

I found it fascinating how they managed to piece the incident back together to produce the report.
