It is not certain that they all were. Two of them appear to have activated their oxygen packs, which were found activated on the sea floor, so they evidently survived the explosion itself. Also, the cabin of the vehicle is intact following the explosion, in this picture:The review board determined that the force of the explosion was not enough to blast the orbiter itself to pieces, and the acceleration involved was possible for a human body to withstand. The astronauts were not blown to pieces by the blast.However, we can’t know for certain exactly what happened to each of them during the fall. The most likely probability is that they had asphyxiated by the time the orbiter collided with the water.

Yes—in 1966, a C-130 dropped JFK’s original bronze casket off the Delaware coast onto the sea floor 9,000 feet below.After JFK’s assassination, Robert Kennedy became concerned that the casket might end up as a macabre collector’s item so he asked to have it dropped and sunk at sea.The original casket had been damaged while removing it from the hearse to board the plane (a handle was knocked off). Further consideration for using a different casket to bury JFK was that though the medical staff had taken pains to wrap the President’s body in sheets to protect the casket, blood and fluids had seeped onto the lining of the casket.As the government had paid for the casket, a question of ownership now arose. Even though it now resided at the National Archives, RFK said he’d always assumed the Kennedys had ownership. The government didn’t contest the issue and plans were drawn up on how to dispose of it. A submarine skipper suggested drilling 42 holes in the casket, and filling it with three eighty-pound sandbags.To ensure that the casket did not break up upon impact with the ocean, the casket was placed inside a banded wooden crate that was fitted with two parachutes. The crate was also drilled with many holes.The C-130 crew stayed over the drop site until the casket slid below the surface. The drop coordinates were recorded.In addition, according to author David Lifton in his book Best Evidence, there was another aluminum military shipping casket that JFK’s body arrived in at Bethesda Naval Hospital on the night of November 22, 1963. Supposedly, the President’s corpse was in a body bag, not wrapped in sheets.Twenty minutes after the arrival of this aluminum casket, the X-ray technician noticed Jackie Kennedy arriving in a hearse that carried a bronze casket. Two presidential caskets? For the record, Jackie believed her late husband was in the bronze one.Allegedly, somewhere a switch had been made, and as was noted at the autopsy, it appeared as if some one had operated on JFK’s rear head wound, which all Parkland doctors denied doing.What happened to this presidential casket is a total mystery, as Robert Kennedy at the time was not even aware of it.The president would avoid metal in his third casket, being buried at Arlington National Cemetery in a mahogany wood casket.Addendum.Many readers want citations (the doubters), so I’ll include Douglas Homes, who was a staff member on the Assassination Records Review Board for three years, and wrote the book, Inside the Assassination Records Review Board.For ease of what transpired, the following, casket arrivals at Bethesda loading dock:TIME: 6:35 CASKET TYPE: Aluminum (shipping) WITNESSES: Navy personnel-Paul O’Connor, Roger Boyajian, Dennis David, Donald Rebentisch, Floyd Riebe.

If by “Can you voluntarily pay a fine?” you mean, “Pay a fine without contesting it in a court or before an administrative review board?” Sure, as long as it’s not something which requires an appearance in said court or before said administrative review board. Some traffic offenses are must appear offenses, meaning you have to show up in front of the judge, even if your intent is to plead guilty and pay the fine immediately.If you mean, “Pay a fine without ever being issued a citation or summons for a violation,” however, it might be a little tougher to do.First, there usually aren’t any ways for a City Comptroller or Circuit Clerk of Courts to classify “voluntary fine payment” without a citation number or court docket number or ordinance violation number to go along with it. The bureaucracy involved in most governments precludes simply accepting money without a reason for doing so.Second, the people who accept money for fines aren’t typically involved in issuing the citations or summonses or other paperwork involved in being fined a certain amount of money. The Circuit Clerk, for instance, doesn’t have a book of traffic citations available if you go in and say you want to pay a fine for running a red light, but haven’t been cited for it yet.If you’re feeling guilty about committing some infraction or violation, you might consider taking the fine amount and donating it to a worthy charity in your area. You’ll feel better, the charity will have funds to work with, and there’s no fuss over whether or not you have the right paperwork.
