American Icons – Challenger Tragedy

Today marks 25 years since the tragic accident that changed NASA forever. On January 28, 1986, space shuttle Challenger exploded over the Atlantic, merely about a minute after take-off. Six astronauts and and a teacher were killed in the terrible explosion caught on live TV. I remember watching it in Dr. Randolph’s science classroom as we all sat there stunned. It is the only time in school I can remember a teacher and her students crying together. Where were you on that day?
