I remember being in the 3rd grade at Seltzer Elementary in Wichita, we were coming back from recess. Our teacher was obviously upset and when we all sat down, she told us she had some very bad news. At first I though our class did something wrong because she was so visibly upset and could not get the words out. She took a deep breath and told us there was an accident with the Challenger and none of the astronauts survived. They put the TV in the library, and our class watched the news about it there with the 4th grade as there were only 3 TVs in the entire school. I just remember being stunned, upset, sad. I know only 7 people died but I remember it being the same as when I heard the news about 9-11, just a stunning moment where you remember where you were, what you were doing, ect.
