Since its the 30th anniversary of that horrible disaster I would like to talk about the historical significance about the event. Also for those who were old enough to remember it, I would like to hear your personal stories about what happened on that day

Damn. 30 years. I feel like the 80s are getting older the more we get into 30 years. Same with the 2000s whenever a year turns a decade old. Seems cool actually. But in all seriousness, I respect the astronauts who died in the explosion. They would all be missed.

Yeah same here its equally crazy to think that 9/11 is almost 15 years old.

Also yes the astronauts that died that day were true heroes!

I was 25, I'd just graduated from college and was about a week from embarking on my career (my job was lined up).  The explosion was truly horrific.  I wasn't the President's biggest fan but I greedily devoured all his words of comfort from his TV address afterwards.  The event dominated the news for several days.  Besides the normal reporting we were given a lot of the personal stories of the individuals who were on the doomed mission.  I recall being very interested in the technical details of what went wrong, being the techie that I am.  All in all it was a difficult, tragic event.  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(

I already feel like it's been a long time since 9/11 passed. One day, it would be like 9/11 is 20 years old and New York City will probably commemorate Ground Zero with red, white, and blue lights all over the site.

That sounds tragic, Thank you for responding!

And we should never forget them

A truly sad occasion, of which I remember well.

I was called in by a neighbour to watch the television screen.

I remember watching the disaster on television, it was a moment in history that will never be forgotten. :\'(

Where does all the time go?

I vaguely remember it. I was too small to watch the news.

I was about 12 years old.

Thank you for responding!

As much as the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion was truly shocking and awful, it was not nearly the life-changing horror that 9/11 was...

9/11 had a much more powerful impact on people's lives.
