I remember where I was when I heard the Challenger blew up as a kid better than hearing about the start of 9/11 as an adult. It left such an impression. They sent up a teacher. A nice teacher that all her kids loved. And she died.

I learned about it during lunch at school and the gasp that went through the room is a sound I'll never forget.
