I was 22, and going to community college, and living with my mom in Oak Harbor, WA at the time.

I had woken up early (8am...crack of dawn for me at that time) to watch this because Shuttle Launches, though not uncommon, were still awesome enough to wake up early for.

When the explosion happened, my mom and I were both watching, and were both stunned and didn't say anything for about 10 minutes. Both of us were crying. Or maybe it was dust in the air for me....
