Initially I thought they were rerunning the Challenger footage when Columbia went down, I couldn't believe it would happen again.
I was in 9th grade and in Biology class during the Challenger disaster. My teacher was so excited because Christa Mcauliff was going up and she had been talking about it for a long time. She was so shocked after it happened that she couldn't do anything to console us, she wasn't speaking at all. It was so horrible.
