I was in school. I walked into the cafeteria and saw the students from the astronomy class who looked devastated and shocked. Someone said, "They're dead. They're all dead." That's how I found out. I was glad that I didn't watch it live. My youngest sister and her class did, and I think that she had post traumatic shock for months after.
I remember a few years earlier one of my teachers had applied to the teacher in space program which is how Christa McAuliffe was selected. I was so glad that she was not chosen.
