Quoted from fflint_18:And I'll never forget where I was when the Challenger exploded.
Everyone else at high-school was off on a skiing field trip, but I wasn't interested so I didn't go.
Was having lunch at a friends house, and on our way out we walked back through the kitchen and his mom had the launch on TV. Watched it on a live broadcast as it happened. That, uh, kinda blew the rest of the afternoon at school.
