I'm too young to remember the Kennedy assassination. The first major news event I vividly remember is the Challenger explosion.

I was home with the flu on the day the Challenger exploded. I watched it live since I was a fan of the space program.

The first major news event I remember vividly was the moon landing. My dad was in grad school on North Campus and I remember him and my mom waking me up to watch the TV. I was in the dorm tv lounge (Mary Markley) when Challenger went down.

I was listening to WKAR-FM, but I was lightly asleep. I awoke, startled, to the normal music broadcast, but I felt rattled enough to turn on the television. An interrupting announcement must have been enough to wake me, although I didn't have any idea of having heard one.

My class at school was watching the liftoff live on TV.

Re #51: What was the name of that guy who had it on in his room on our
hall? He was part Latino or something.

Sadly, time has faded my memory of many of the names.

Same here, apparently.
