I was sitting in Grade 8 science class. Everyone was working solo on some assignment.
A science teacher from the class next door walks in, while we were all busy, and said quietly to the science teacher who happened to be standing close enough to me to hear, "The shuttle just blew up".
Big news. One of those moments you never forget. I find it odd I still see that moment so clearly, so many years past.
Truly a tragedy of modern history, its impact set NASA back many years, and still has an impact today.
