Hokkaidough 4 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I remember watching it on telly. What did the dudes say "I think we have obviously had a major malfunction". Shocking stuff. One of those "what were you doing" events... if you are of a certain age of course. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm too young. Still, never fails to shock seeing that. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I was young but I remember watching it horrified. I was just then again, haven't seen that for quite a while. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I was 19 working in a bowling alley watching it on a bigscreen...definitely one of those moments. Not that I really want to remember working in a bowling alley.. Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 After seeing it I never took another space shuttle flight, just caught the bus. Link to post Share on other sites

Well, given the destination you could certainly have a good nap without the worry of missing your stop.. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yeah haven't seen that for yonks. Bit like the 9-11 video, perhaps not quite as startling - just doesn't lose any impact. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I remember actually being in science class watching that live. We were all excited that we didn't have to do any real work and could watch tv. It was quite shocking to say the least! Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I had premonition. Was more surprised that it did go wrong. But think about it, it´s a primitive way of sending something up high ... on a huge firework. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I was young when this happened and vaguely remember watching the news reports on TV.......I remember more the crass jokes that inevitably came out about it Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Never heard any of them, maybe I don't want to. I can only vaguely remember as well. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I remember watching it here in Japan. I was really into rockets and the space thing, very shocking to watch. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I was way little then, but it was scary seeing that happen I do remember that. Link to post Share on other sites
