I was home recovering from surgury when this tragedy happened so I actually saw it happen live on CNN since all I could do was watch TV at that point. When the explosion occured I didn't immedialy understand what happened but it soon became apparent this was a pretty bad situation. It's hard to believe that has been 20 years now.

Ron McNair (the black guy) went to NC A&T State University in Greensboro. The school of engineering is named after him. I was 7 years old in the 2nd grade when the Challenger explosion happened.
