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

[Dishevelled Den]

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.

[PhilRich]

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

I remember that very well, I watched in stunned silence as it became obvious to me that I had just witnessed the deaths of of those on board the craft.

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

[Entwood]

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..

bloody ell aye i remember that,it doesnt take long after any disaster for the jokes to start rolling

[Marks DTM Calib]

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.

[Amigo]

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?

[Lazydocker]

Thanks Jimbob... I feel old now as I remember it like yesterday

[Proz]

Yeah i remember watching it .... god im old  :-/

[henryd]

I remember watching that, makes my blood run cold watching it even now

[Lizzie_Zoom]

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!
