25 year anniversary of the Space Shuttle disaster

I was working in Orlando and we watched from the top of the building at MGM studios.
We had seen many lift offs and had worked at the cape before when it took off.
We knew something was way wrong after a few seconds.
My kids were so exicited at the time becaus a teacher Krista MacAuliffe
was going and they were supposed to get pics and info at all the schools about space.

RIP astronauts.

I was running late for computer class , back when computer screens were black and white or green and white t.v. . Anyway i had no idea we were gonna watch it in color in the gym ( cause i was late ). so i walk in to an empty class room of 30 some odd computer screens all turned to the shuttle liftoff . Watching it on all those screens at once was one of the most memorable experiences of my life .

I was in the third grade. Having just sharpened my pencil I turned to walk back to my desk when the principal came on the PA and said "Attention. The space shuttle has just exploded"

after school I ran the entire way home and watched the coverage on TV.

I was on my way to school..(3rd grade to be exact). I remember listening to the radio.. it took off as we came to a 4 way stop.. when we pulled into school is when it happened. There was a creepy silence. Everything came to a stop... Living in a city w/ Marshall, and a TON of aerospace companies.. it was talked about for years...
