37 years ago today.

The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded.

I was in a civics class. Watching live. Will never forget it. Where were you?

@kairyssdal I was getting a physical. The nurse had taken my temp and some other prelim things and I'd undressed. Then I waited and waited. I realized it was really quiet outside my room so I snuck a look and there was no one in the halls at all! I sat back down for a minute but then decided to get dressed and see if I was in an episode of the Twilight Zone. I walked out to the lobby to find everyone watching a large TV as they played and replayed the launch and explosion...
