Challenger, Thirty Years Ago?

Junior in high school. We weren't watching it live, but as soon as we all heard, kids were gathering around in the rooms that had tvs. It hit close to home, as Ron McNair was from Lake City, SC (the biggest celebrity in our local area). They have a memorial in front of the public library now. It was even worse when we learned some of them could have survived the explosion and would've had to ride it out to splashdown. Very sad.
