- Where was I when the Challenger accident occurred?
-
- I was an eight grader at Chestnut Junior High School. I distinctly remember
- being told by one of my teachers, Mr. Roche. However, he had a reputation of
- being a joker, and nobody believed him. He wouldn't even put on the TV to
- prove it, so we didn't believe a word he said. Our next class was Social
- Studies with Mr. Mills. Unfortunately, he was out that day, and we had a sub
- who ALSO told us the bad news. By this time, it started to sink in.
- Needless to say, very little was done for the rest of the day. I don't
- remember much of what happened for the rest of the day, I was in a state of
- shock. To this day, I still get chills when I see the explosion. Let's ALL
- hope that it never happens again...
