I remember that day. I was at school and didn't see it, but my mom was crying when she told me about it when I got home. Here's some new information Chapter 5: An eternity of descent - Space History- msnbc.com

Astronauts don't die. They just get better spaceships.

i remember this statement shortly after the incident......perhaps within a week, that they had survived the explosion and died upon hitting the water.

we watched it live in the classroom...since there was a teacher on board... at least thats how i rememeber it...i remember watching it live....

then a few weeks later Punky Brewster had an episode on it...(btw..she grew up nice)

I remember that the Salt Lake valley had been buried in fog for over a month. I was going between buildings at work, when all of a sudden, there was the sun. Everyone took break a little early and we were all standing around with smiles on our faces.

Then some one hollered out "guy's, you got to listen to this". Nuff said.

I saw it live in my 4th grade class as that teacher was on board, like most children in school that time.

Wow. For those who watched it at school, what did your teacher say? At my school a shuttle launch was kind've old hat so they didn't think it was important enough to show live.

Mrs Paula said 'OMG" and just turned off the tube

Not only did we watch it live in school, but my teacher was best friends with the teacher on board. It was horrific and devastating.
