Wow, has it been 20 years already??? It seems like it was just a few years ago.

Holy moly time flies by so quickly.

I still remember sitting in class, and then the TVs were turned on so we could watch the news...

Crazy, I was 6 when this happened. My aunt is a teacher and even tried to go on the challenger. I think she was a finalist, if I remember.

I was watching the launch that morning.......very sad day ....RIP brave souls..

Wow, 20 years already? I was watching the launch live as well when it happened. I remember I had a physics exam that started like 30 mins after it happened and I walked into it in a daze. I told my teacher about it and he didn't believe me!

It's one of those things.. happened so long ago, but I remember the details and what I was doing at the time like it was yesterday.

Thanks for reminding us jalnjr...
