- Well, I was done class early that morning and went home for lunch (I was on
- M.S.Time). I flipped on the T.V. and saw the shuttle about to launch. I
- found out later that this was post-explosion coverage, but when I switched
- on the 'tube they had decided to show the launch sans commentary, just
- listening to mission control. So for me, it was "real time" with no
- warning. I just thought "cool--a shuttle launch," and couldn't believe it
- when it exploded.
