    Where were you when*Space Shuttle Challenger*broke apart? *

    Since today is the 40th anniversary of it.
    ​​​​ ​​​

    Myself and my two helpers were renovating an old house in town.
    There was a
    small TV that someone had left there for no apparent
    reason since the house was being gutted.
    Someone mentioned there was going to be a launch, so we decided
    to plug the TV in and
    watch the launch while taking an early lunch.

    I was in a Denver hotel (Hotel Majestic?) room just getting ready to go to the office. I was on a geology project mapping a uranium deposit.

      My dad and I were on the road with a U-Haul moving me to Indiana for a fellowship. We were stopped at a travel plaza when we heard the news. Forgotten until now.

          I can't remember. I was in the office or out surveying.
          Debbie was working at her brother's fabric store.
          We don't remember hearing it on the radio but remember watching on the TV that night.

            Distinctly remember it. A friend and I were sitting in a pub having lunch watching it on the TV as it happened.

              I was 15 years old, getting ready to go to school when we saw it on the Rank Arena television

                Was in a business meeting when someone interrupted, having seen it on tv.
                We all left the meeting and got glued to tv for a long while,
                Good evening you all!
