Dan Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 As a senior in HS, I had half day classes. I rushed home that afternoon just to watch the Shuttle launch. I was sitting in my house, alone, in my dad's chair.... in complete shock.
Mr_Blizzard Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Challenger: 25 years later, a still painful wound I was in study hall when one of the librians came across the hall and told us what happened. We all went over there to see the replays on TV. Next class was french class. I told the teacher, and she wanted to go see it for herself. Told her go ahead, we could wait a few minutes for class to start. One of my friends in the same class didn't believe me, he also went over to the library to see it for himself. I had been working evening shift, so I had just rolled out of bed and went downstairs for some breakfast. My mom told me "The space shuttle just blew up". I watched the familiar replay over and over as the announcers tried to find the words to say when it was obvious there would be no survivors. Very sad day; hard to believe it's been 25 years.
Bills99999 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I was channel surfing and saw it on TV I was as shocked and as saddened as I was when I heard Princess Diana died...In other words, it did not affect me in the least We can't let the suffering of others affect us. Now as we speak, there are people laying dead in car wrecks, laying in the street dying of bullet wounds, dying in war, starving to death, racked in pain while dying of cancer Why should we suffer for people just because their deaths are covered on CNN?
