Where were you when Space Shuttle Challenger exploded?

I'm sure many of us can remember. I was at home watching The Price is Right with my Mom when they cut in for the live launch. Moments later, my family and I watched as the shuttle took off and exploded... all I can really remember after that was my Mom muttering "oh my god, oh my god" over and over. I was only 12 and it really didn't seem like such a shock at the time... guess at twelve I still really hadn't learnt the true value of life.

Where were you?

I hadn't watched television for 6 months when the accident happened, but my mom called home from work telling me to turn on the tv and I tuned into the explosion, over and over again.

I was always interested in space travel and the stars, and I knew that this tragedy could cost us years if not decades in exploration. Thankfully it didn't set us that far back, though the second shuttle explosion seems to have done a lot more damage. I'm going to miss the spectacular images from the Hubble Telescope

I was in 6th grade and we watched it on a school tv cause of Christy Cauliff being involved. Pretty dramatic for a 6th grader.

I was about 6-7 and living in Florida at the time. I was at the beach and my mom said hey look up at that....it was the shuttle exploding over the sea. I was too young to understand how awful it really was, but I do remember what I seen in the sky.

I was in Austin Texas working in Dobie Mall at a little coffee and tea shop, we went next door to the baked potatoe place and watched it on TV.

I lived on the space coast in Fla for 7 years, we have gotten to see a few rockets explode in that time.. its wild and they tell everyone to get inside and stay there till they make sure the air is clean (who knows what was going up in the rockets).

I really loved launch day.. you would see the shuttle go up then you would wait for the sound ..you could hear it coming at you then it would hit you and make everything rumble..then you could hear it travel away. Reminded me of the book by Steven King.."the Langoliers". When the shuttles would land it was like a loud explosion and would literally shake the house with its sonic boom..

eleventh grade english. The class across the hall was watching it and we heard a scream and all of us other classes came running in to see what happened. I remember the parents of th teacher on board how their faces went from joy to horror in seconds

I was walking in between 2nd and 3rd period in 10th grade. Looked up in the sky and saw a huge cloud in an otherwise totally blue sky. Walked into the next class and saw it on TV. The whole school emptied out and we just sttod there in awe.

This was in Daytona Beach.

I remember i was exited because it was one of the first time a civilian women was in the shuttle. I watched everything on TV. I can't describe, even today what an horrible feeling i had for the rest of that day. I remember that i have cried in silence, and the others were all very silent. No one picked on me for the tears. They knowed they were prayers.

We were watching it live on television in 6th grade. I remember the collective gasp that went out when it happened.

Just moments before it happened we were all laughing and joking because the boys were freaking out over a tampon commercial.

The whistle blower from that incident came to our school and talked to us. Amazing how he kept telling his superiors it was too cold and they had to wait or post pone it, but they went ahead anyways with the launch.

I was 16, someone told me in the hallway in between classes and i thought they were pulling my leg. Went to my friends house for lunch and we turned on the tv and watched in absolute shock.
Terrible....and seeing the students watch in horror while they're teacher blows up. A day i will never forget.

I was in school. It was being shown during lunch when I was in third grade. We watched it happen live, and then we had an assembly after it happened. I remember teacher crying and the prinicpal speaking to all the students.

At school watched it live in class. Could not figure out why they were crying and such. Then everyone had to go to the gym for a assembly and they just went on and on about it. More crying and stupid shit.

May seem heartless but I figured they flew rockets, they knew shit happens its part of the job.
