Indeed. :-( Brings back the Challenger for me also. I was in a mission control room monitoring that launch at the time.
This time, I woke up to hear about the disaster.
Same here - I was sleeping late today. I rolled downstairs around 10 AM to find my wife already watching the news of it.
Funny that we just had those remembrance threads about Challenger just a few days ago...
My gosh, what a moment in history. Like the Kennedy assasination, the Challenger is a moment when everyone remembers where they were.
To be part of that history....
