When the Challenger exploded?
I was dutifully going door to door to door, when a lady came to the door crying about the Cahllenger. She invited me in and I placed a set of magazines. I told her in the months to come these kind of things would never happen again.
I was in kindergarten and knew nothing about it until the episode of Punky Brewster that dealt with the topic.
I was sitting on the couch watching the shuttle launch. I always watched it launch back then. I remember seeing it explode and running outside to tell my mom.
We were unemployed for the first time ever. It was a very bad time for us.
Eating lunch and watching the reshowing of Challenger blowing up...I had been cleaning at my jobs and had not had the radio or tv on...just a cassette playing.
I was stunned thinking of how their families had been sitting there watching.
I was always cautious making promises about when the end was coming...1975 was not that far in the past.
We should never name our space shuttles with words that start with "C". It's proven science that C is bad.
Challenger, Columbia....let's stay away from that.
I only remember it vaguely. I was in elementary school, and I sort of remember my teachers having a solidarity with one of the passengers who was a teacher, right? Its all kind of foggy....
I remember it was an unusally cold day here.
At my place of work, people huddled around a TV in stunned silence.
My oldest daughter, going on 13, was at school; she said some of her teachers cried and cried.
It was a terrible tragedy.

What were you doing 25 years ago today....
I was standing outside of Islington subway station in a cheap suit and tie peddling watchtower and awake magazines. I learned about the tragedy when I went into a restaurant for some breakfast.
