This is the 24th anniversary of the Challenger disaster January 28, 1:21 PMPhiladelphia Motherhood ExaminerJennifer Ellis May

Where were you on January 28th, 1986? Were you in a classroom watching the first teacher go into space? Do you remember how you felt when you saw the Challenger explode soon after it left the earth?

CNN reports that about 17% of Americans were watching when the disaster occurred. One hour later, 85% had heard the news. It is estimated that 48% of 9-13 year-olds were watching.

Teacher Christa Macauliffe was supposed to be the first teacher in space, but she never made it. She died in the explosion along with the six astronauts accompanying her.

Most of today's moms are old enough to remember this event. Today is a good day to share this historical story with your children. It's also a good way to share an emotional story from your own childhood.

Where were you on January 28th, 1986?

Working as a Police Officer II for the Welfare Department, on that day at the Food Stamp Office on McMillan Avenue in Cincinnati. My future wife and I were living together, it was our 3rd year in that small apartment in Norwood.

At work, girlfriend called as soon as it happened and filled me in, by the time I got to the cafeteria the "video system" was already a TV and we caught the replay. Seeing it once is enough.

I heard about the second one breaking up, nothing to see there.

Tragedy, you never know when you might not come back even if you drive a Hummer.

Where were you on January 28th, 1986?

Amberg i.d. Oberpfalz, Germany.

It was a sad moment in the space program, but one that was bound to happen sooner or later.

Afterthought- D*mn! That was a long time ago!

I was in woodshop class in high school. Just getting ready to go to lunch. After lunch the English teacher had it on in the classroom. The country was much more united back then.

Reagan was the last President that truly united us when you think about it.

I was in the cafeteria of my high school. The principal got on the PA and informed the school. Afternoon classes were postponed for a memorial mass.

I had just come out of my boss's office in which I was informed that I was moving out of the back office and on to the trading floor and to not fuck it up because I passed over about a dozen people. I got back to my desk, answered a phone, and was talking to someone, ironically, in our Miami branch who, I guess had a TV on and she started screaming that the shuttle had exploded....
