remember going cold then as I watched it, and gone cold again now seeing the pics again!
Was only 10, must be one of my earliest vivid news memories
-
I remember that very well, I watched in stunned silence as it became obvious to me that I had just witnessed the deaths of those on board the craft.

Crikey, was it that long ago? It doesn't seem anything like it! :o

my thoughts too,i was 12 and to see a real life tragedy like that was horrific and you knew that seven brave souls had just gone
-
Certainly difficult to think it was really 25 years ago .. seems much more recent.
It made a great many people realise space exploration is inherently dangerous .. they had become complacent.
-
in the days before youtube etc, it was months after the event that I saw video footage of this cos I'd just sailed from Pompey for 5 months.
-
I was shocked when I saw it in news.. became million pieces in a second.. still I remember it like yesterday.. And I feel really sorry as some of the crew were civils first time going in space.. :(

Then the sick jokes came out Need.Another.Seven.Astronauts :-X

bloody ell aye i remember that,it doesnt take long after any disaster for the jokes to start rolling
-
Yeh, I remember the jokes
Favourite Drink - 7uP
NASA - Need Another Seven Astronauts
Last thing they said - What does this button do
What do tampon users and Christa McAuliffe have in common - They both should have stayed on the pad.
25 years ago though, amazing how time passes.
-
I remember as well. If i'm right it was televised & the families would've been watching at home.
It was shocking for all of us but to Mum & the kids????
-
Thanks Jimbob... I feel old now as I remember it like yesterday ::)
-
Yeah i remember watching it .... god im old :-/
-
I remember watching that, makes my blood run cold watching it even now
-
Yes, I was watching and like so many it was the stunned silence I remember so well, as certainly I couldn't grasp, or didn't want to believe, for a minute or so what I had witnessed :'( :'( :'( :'( We were in shock! :o :o

You forgot one...
"Who let her drive..."
//TB braces for the MCP comments from the ladies (and ladyboys)... :P

I think Challenger was the first "I remember what I was doing that day" moment of my life, the others being 9/11 attacks and Princess Diana's death
The shuttle tragedy really hit home with me, I was 15 at the time and heavily into aviation and in particular the shuttle cos each launch back then was quite an event.
I remember going out and buying all the papers in the morning to get as much information as I could about what happened
Terrible waste of life, and if reports are to be believed some of the astronauts were attempting to activate their personal safety equipment as the orbiter fell to earth.

Its a dangerous activity. They knew the risks.
I'd say the same for motorsport, by the gayboys at F1 don't qualify. Numby Pandies

they sit on a bullet chair containing hundreds of tons of hdyrogen and oxygen .. nothing ever is that much dangerous..

but from engineering point of view , its unacceptable that all this tragedy is caused by a bad quality o-ring.. :(

My brother, the lucky, jammy bugger has driven one. Surprised he wedged his fat gut in, along with all his chins. No, no bitterness there ;D ;D
One of his suppliers flew him to Catalunya, where he was trained to drive single seaters, before strapping him in a real F1 :o. Git. Utter git. I would happily have gone in his place ::)
