The Challenger explosion -- I remember thinking how particularly
awful that was because so many schoolchildren were watching it live
(because civilian teacher Christa McAuliffe was aboard). I was at work,
and happened to be passing the cafeteria... A bunch of our engineers
were gathered in front of the TVs, and I saw the replay. Our company
had communications equipment aboard, so a lot of the employees felt
personally involved. A tragic mistake....
