Challenger explosion.

Remember watching that in class in the 2nd grade when It blew up.

Teacher walked over and said that appeared to be all of what was going to be shown a few minutes later and we all went back to work.

If that happened now they would have the entire school in counseling.

The plane crashing in Kenner. I was Thunder Cats and the news broke in. As a 2nd grader, I was pissed.
