I was working as a project manager rebuilding the cable tv systems in Atlantic City, New Jersey, we had a tv suspended from the ceiling so all us MANAGERS could monitor the picture quality. (That was what it was supposed to be used for, we watched cartoons most of the time) When I heard one of the guys yell "HOLY SHIT, COME LOOK AT THIS!" We didn't do much the rest of the day, but watch the reports of the accident and the how comes. I was 35 years old, you guys make me feel old.

Watching tv getting ready for work, I had to go make more space shuttle parts.
No shit we made the parts for that space shuttle a month before it blew up. So yeah we were all scared if our parts were the problem.
They weren't
When the second one blew up a few years ago, I was fishing a tourny , but I was puking my brains out from being sick and sleeping, when a buddy of mine came to see how I was doing he told me what happened.

I was in 4th grade watching the events all unfold on the television. Being that young, I only remember the explosion and then having my dad explain to me why his employer at the time, Thiokol, was in a heap of $hit. I watched a few of the solid rocket booster firings in Promintory, UT and knowing what goes into them is truely amazing.

I was a sophmore in high school at the time and remember it all very well.
Barbara Morgan one of the teachers that was going to go up in the shuttle was my little sisters teacher at one time. And growing up in a small town every one knows everyone. Very scary stuff.

How trippy...I was home sick from Jr. High as well, although I was 13 at the time (8th grade, I believe). I remember I was watching a movie on cable and had no idea until my dad called and asked if I was watching the news.
PS...AZ402, I was in Arizona at the time....were you in JR HIGH in Arizona or somewere else...just curious.
