9/11 - World History class in high school. The teacher next door came in and said that a plane crashed into the WTC. I thought it was a small private plane - no big deal. I had her English class next, and that's when I saw the extent. I was somewhat awed, but the biggest thought on my mind at the time was whether we'd get school off. We didn't.
Columbia - Woke up, turned on CNN, and there it was. My uncle died a week later, so that took up more of my memory than the shuttle explosion did.
