I only remembered the news and newspaper coverage of the disaster. I can't remember much, only that at one point it was theorised that a NASA jet (for some reason a T-38 Talon immediately jumps to mind) had collied with it in mid-air.

I was too immature to think of what any of it could mean beyond the fact that seven people died.

Did you see it live live or did you see the quick replay that the majority of people saw?

20 years seems like a long time to me. 20 years ago, I was 7! While I can still remember lots of my thoughts and feelings from second grade (and can recognize personality patterns that persist to this day), it seems like there's been a lifetime of changes between now and then.

More odd coincidences:
I was watching it live when it blew up. It was my sister's birthday, but, I snuck off to watch it. Was kind of a tradition to watch every televised shuttle launch until I was about 10 or 11.

One of my uncles, Greg, worked at the Sunstrand plant where they manufactured the notorious o-ring, among a host of other parts and pieces used mostly by the military. He wasn't in the division that produced the gasket, but, that didn't save him from me blaming him personally for the accident for many years. ^ ^

That was only 20 years ago? Time gets so skewed in my memory. :)
