I also remember this very well. I was a teacher and several of us had gathered in the teacher's room to watch the launch because teacher Krista McCauliff was on board. I know we talked about showing it in our classrooms and I'm glad we didn't. I remember my friend and I seeing the explosion and looking at each other and saying, what was that? And then silence I think from the TV announcer and then some chaos and then the confirmation that it had been destroyed. I think there was some back and forth saying, no that was just a rocket, not the main ship. It was all very confusing. I cried and everyone in the room cried and it was hard to go back to class and explain it to the kids..
Yes, I thought it was the most terrible disaster I had witnessed up until 9/11
