I can't quite believe it has been seven years since I made that post to you. Slow the clock down! lol
Same here. Our school hallway had a big television and we were all gathered around, perhaps even a bit jaded about launches, and then, confusion followed those agonizing shots of wayward trails...
I was sick to my stomach and numb. Twice in my life I felt that way. The other was 9-11.
I can’t believe it has been 7 years either.
It was a sickening feeling. I remember walking through the rest of that day in high school in a complete fog. I think we were numb, especially since our favorite history teacher had been an alternate. That man changed forever that day.
I still have the newspaper (USA Today, I think) that published the Rogers Commission report in full.
Watching Columbia explode over DFW a lifetime later was no different for me. Same feeling.
I’ll catch ya next year for the 30th.
