I was living in Logan, Utah, working with people who'd been at Thiokol and knew the players.

We saw it on the news that evening. It circled the world and it and shocked many, our family included.

Was at SHSU, everyone in the TV area was staring at the TV, in silence, w/an agast look...I knew right away something really bad had just happened.

I was driving down highway 99 and heard a noise that was unusual. It was a foggy day and I was driving slow. Turns out it was when they entered the atmosphere. Found out about the disaster when I got home. Very sad day.

I wasn't surprised at all. Wording often gives it away. They did NOT say " If everything goes exactly right we could have one flight per month" They DID say " We're going to have one flight per month !
Sorry it's not a bus and they can't put schedule before readiness. !

I was in boot camp, the only time they let us watch tv. Never forget it.

Like 9.11, I was in Florida watching the morning news covering the lift off.
