Am I the only person who has no memory of this event? It was only ten years ago, but the story is completely unfamiliar to me.

I didn’t have quite the impact of the Challenger but it was pretty well a news everywhere event.

I can still remember exactly when I learned of the Challenger disaster but I don’t recall the exact time when I learned of Columbia.

I remember it vividly.

Living near KSC waiting for the sonic booms that never happened.

Spent 3 1/2 weeks in eastern Texas searching for debris.
