I was inspecting labs at Harvard when I noticed all the researchers were down the hall surrounding the one TV on the floor. Couldn't believe it.

I was at work. The news started spreading around the office. I went home that evening and watched it on the news. I just stared at it. My husband said the Daycare Center had the T.V. on at the time of the launch but didn't think any of the children were old enough to understand what happened. This many years later I'm not sure I fully understand what happened either.

Standing in my living room watching live. My ex was in the kitchen. When it exploded I called him to come watch. He didn't believe me at first. I had just found out not long before that I was pregnant, so I was an emotional wreck. I started bawling like a baby.

At work at NIH. I remember going to lunch with my friend Pat. We ended up driving around Montgomery County listening to it on the radio. Sad day.

I was in Social Study's class watching it on our schools closed circuit TV. One of our teachers was 2nd runner up (if I remember that right) to go on the shuttle so the entire high school was watching. I had the seat closest to the TV and I remember turning around to look at the rest of the faces in class, to see what my reaction to it was supposed to be.

I was at the firing range at Pease AFB when I heard about it. Drove to my on-base housing and watched it on TV with my wife. I couldn't imagine what the crew went through the last moments of their lives.
