Where were you on Jan. 28, 1986 ??
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,183092,00.html
For me...It was my 2nd day of basic training. I was on KP, waiting for the rest of my training Co to in-process. I overheard on of the civilian kitchen workers mention something about the Space Shuttle exploding, but really didn't hear it all. So I never got the the whole story, or saw the pictures until I got out of Basic and AIT.

I was taking a mid-term exam during my Sophomore year of High School in Uniondale NY. I can still hear the silence all these years later after the announcement was made.

Out in the middle of the Texas desert, high on some god forsaken plateau sending MMC back to Ft. Bragg.

I watched it live on tv in my living room, 8 years old.

I was in the 6th grade, and home from school, because I was sick. I watched it live.

I was in our new offices at DFW. We had recently moved here from south of Houstn, just a couple of miles from the Space Center. I knew a couple of them, in fact one was a neighbor of my best friend.
It brought back the memories of Apolo I!!

I was in third grade at Anderson Elementary. We were watching the shuttle take off because the first teacher was going in to space. What a sad day.
Thanks, Chris

I was in Korean class at DLI. My class leader, John Henterly, drew a picture on the chalkboard of a drowning guy being eaten by a shark. It was certainly un-PC, but I thought it broke up the depression surrounding the tragedy.

The other half was out at sea on the Saratoga. My oldest son watched it at school on TV; my daughter and I watched it at home.
