Oh man, that cow site is, um, um, no words to adequately describe.

I was seven when the first moon landing happened. My father took pictures of our black-and-white TV as they showed it live.

Yeah, the Challenger explosion is my thing. I was a sophomore or junior in HS and I didn’t even know the shuttle was going up or that there was a teacher on it (not so observant, me) and all of a sudden I was in a classroom where it was on TV blowing up. Then wham, someone is turning the TV off and trying to distract us with a riveting English lesson. Since Ms. McAuliffe was from my state it was at the forefront of our consciousness for a long time afterwards.

Yeah, when i read the question, the first thing i thought of was the death of Kurt Cobain. That and the 9/11 attacks. However, both were post adolescence for me. As far as childhood, the only thing I can think of, but was less impactful than either Cobain or 9/11, was the Challenger explosion.

I was waiting tables at Eat N’ Park when my friend Joe Bob came in and told me. I remember stopping what I was doing and just staring off into space, but that is about the extent of it. I was 17 - and wearing the last of the hideous EnP skirt uniforms.
