I’m 3/4 cooked. Was a junior in college.
Super sad day when the announcement came on the news.

I was in music that day. A kid who always watched the launches came in from one of the rehearsal rooms and simply said, "the shuttle just blew up."
The rest of us made him say it two more times before we could process it. We had never considered such a thing was possible. We weren't alive yet when the Apollo 1 fire took place.
