    Today marks the 20th aniversary of one of the darkest days in the history of the United States.

    The count was low...only 7 deaths, the ramifications potentially huge. The impact massive. maybe not the worst event ever, but its affect on me personally was only eclipsed by 911.

    I was in 6th grade. Commander Dick Brown's niece was in my class. We had all gone outside to watch it take off...

    I was at work, they had the TV on in the breakroom, and I went in & saw the initial reports when they said something went wrong. I remember customers coming into the bank, there was a pall over everything.....


    I agree with DaveinOlyWa,... Only 911 eclipsed that...

    I was at work getting ready for the lunch rush. I went out to the parking lot to see it go up after it was launched. ( It takes about 45 seconds before we see it here in Orlando), As it went up it was a beautiful sight, it was a cold and clear day.
    Then when I saw the explosion and the way it was going in all directions I knew right then it was the beginning of an tragedy for the country. We all walked back into the restaurant and closed down for the day and went home.
