Where were you this day 25yr ago?

[Broncojohnny]

I just remember the sound from the clip:

"Obviously a major malfunction"

And then there was a period of time when they were looking for the crew cabin in the Atlantic because there is a slight chance that it could have seperated in one piece and they were still alive.

If you ask me though, the Colombia disintegration was worse, with people finding body parts all over Texas. That's crazy shit.

I was in the library when the news caught our eye. We sat and watched it over and over.

5th Grade - Casa View Elementary
Was sitting on the bench waiting to see the principal when they came out and told us what happened....
I can not remember why I was in trouble, but remember that day/moment like it was yesterday....

Punk

3rd grade as well.

Unborn

Watched it in class while in middle school. It was a big deal and a public announcement was made.

And nobody made any jokes about it. Nothing to joke about. It involved the loss of human life and put a major dent in NASA organization both internally and politically.

I was a sophomore in high school. We didn't watch it but a teacher from another class walked into our class and told our teacher that it blew up.

Ma president!

3rd grade... I remember it vividly

Punk

3rd grade as well. Mrs Tucker came in crying and told us what had happened. Was really strange when the Columbia went down almost on the anniversary date.

Punk

3rd grade. Teacher had a look of panic and was just stunned as it happened... Not many of us really knew what was going on.

Probably sucking my moms tit or shitting myself.

3rd grade, watching live in school.

Yep. I remember one shot Fox had where they found a helmet and zoomed in on the inside of that bitch and I swear to you as well as others who saw it there was blood, skin and hair stuck to it. Fucking nasty.

So...I think the point of this thread was lost at like....post #2. I was no exception. Rest In Peace to those that died while trying to benefit the progress of mankind. May you always be remembered as pioneers of our species, and the best of what we have to offer.

I was watching it on TV in my 3rd grade class.

I know this is in bad taste, only posting because I remember this joke going around in elementary school after this tragedy.


How did NASA learn about Christa McAuliffe's dandruff problem?



























They found her head & shoulders.


ZING!
