TheTerrorist_75 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 The only thing I remember was that it was a bad year for my family and we had to move into the local housing project. I detested living in that ****hole. The only music we got to hear was country. Yuk!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baker7 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I was not born when this happened, but I do remember the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster (1986) and the Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster (2003). I can tell you EXACTLY where I was on both occaisions, and I believe what I was doing. I will forever remember the words "Challenger, GO with Throttle up" and Commander Dick Scobee's response "Roger, Go with throttle up" Then a POOF, and a trail of fire that came down in a hell of a hurry. My friend Rex was the one that told me that "The Space Shuttle blew up." I was like "Nooooo WAY" and I went to a teacher and another friend who confirmed it - I don't think I will ever forget that, or NASA's announcement "It appears to be a major malfunction........The vehicle has exploded." I was in 6th ot 7th grade at the time.In 2003, I was awaiting the landing of Columbia, when I heard via the radio that Columbia had "broken up over Texas" I was in SHOCK, because we had lost Challenger, and 7 astronauts, and now we would lose another 7. I believe I was enroute to Portsmouth Navel Shipyard, for Family Day aboard USCGC Reliance (WMEC-615), I am sure that there are other disasters that people remember, but I always will remember that for each time we go to space, or go to work, or respond to an Emergency, a Fire, etc that there is always a risk inherant with anything like this: For those that have lost their lives in disasters like this, we should always rememeber them, for they are the pioneers, our saviors, and our protectors.Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
