Challenger Accident
I know this is old news, but it still touches my heart whenever I recall the memories of that day it happened.
28 January 1986, I was at CSDF in my Holticulture class outside...teacher was talking about plants, etc...when I noticed a tv on in one of the middle school's classrooms and was showing a space shuttle flying in the air, then suddenly saw it exploding. I had to find out why it was happening, so I ran over to the classroom and watched the tv. I was 15, going on 16.
It was a breaking news from the local news station....remember the teacher, Christa McAuliffe...she was going to be the first teacher in space that year? I was told that she knew a few deaf people from American School for the Deaf in Connecticut. I knew one of the students who knew her.
Anyway, it was really the saddest day for the people of USA when we witnessed the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle.
Where were you guys when that happened?
I pray to the Goddess that THIS one isn't a REPOST as I did a SEARCH for this thread, but none came up. If so...dammmmnnn! :P
