Challenger - was sitting with the rest of my grade school class watching the launch on tv. Don't remember the rest of the day, other than alot of teachers were crying. Unfortunatley, I was at that age where the only way I knew to handle it was to make jokes.
9-11 - My roommate woke me up before work and told me to watch the tv. I saw people running down the street with masks on their face, and blown up buildings, and told him I didn't have time to watch a movie, we had to go to work. Then he told me it was live. I looked at the tv, and the first building fell. I didn't get much done at work that day.
Columbia - didn't even know there was a shuttle in space, untill I heard it crashed. My wife and I drove from milwaukee to chicago in silence listening to what ever news I could find.
