I remember that they were filing us into a classroom as the Shuttle was taking off...

I was just about to step in the room and the teachers started yelling about it exploding and to turn the TV off. Then we all just kind of stood there, and then the teachers turned the TV back on to allow us to see what they said at that time as being history.

I think we watched for like 30 minutes. Then we went back to our classrooms. It was pretty incredible.
