I was surrounded by a crowd of people as we all watched the disaster unfold.

I remember at first telling myself it just couldn't be what I thought it was, that it was just something strange about how the solid rocket boosters had separated or something.

The store was just dead silent as we all realized what we had witnessed...
I always wanted to see one in person and almost got my wish in 1990 as I was in Orlando. The launch got moved at the last minute for the day after we left.

I can't even begin to imagine witnessing this particular even in person though.
