1. I was at work and my boss called us in the lunchroom and told us, we were in shock, stunned
2. ;(
3. I was being brought into this world as those seven were taken from it. Sad and strange to share a birthday with a national tragedy.
4. I will never forget this day I was in school watching it at butner elementary school in ft. Bragg north Carolina I'm still speechless
5. malfunction what the fuck it exploded KABOOM end of story there dead jesus fuck obviously they did not survive fuck you NASA 🖕😠🖕
6. Her fucking parents were laughing and that is if they were her parents but they were laughing. I would have anything to do with getting on a rocket. No fucking way. They might just build just to blow it up so they can build another one.
7. So sad...
8. As a parent, this has shaken me to my core.
9. I watched the launch live and still find it hard to comprehend .
10. LÁSTIMA MARGARITO!!!!!
11. This was completely avoidable. Prez Ronny Reagan wanted "his teacher" in space when he gave the State of the Union Address that evening (it was in his prepared speech). His appointed upper level guys overseeing the NASA Space Shuttle DEMANDED that the flight take place that morning no matter what warnings about the O-Rings were concerned.
12. God said nope 🙅.
13. Uros` Peteh (sorry about the accent over your name, couldn't get it right) Thanks for your unique and beautifully spirited comment... You're not stupid.
14. I remember the teachers in school crying. I was in first grade
15. Sad day. I was 5 years old when it happened on live TV. Too young to know any better, I thought it was cool and enjoyed all the replays until my mother told me the gravity of it. God rest the crew.
16. I remember watching this tragedy when I was in LA. I felt enormous loneliness for some reason, it was really sad.
17. They all live. Google it
18. so sad
19. My mother told me about watching this live when she was a kid. Apparently most watching didn't even really realize what happened, even after the explosion. They just thought it kept going somehow :( It wasn't until the guy announced "the vehicle has exploded" that it hit them.
