25 years later: space shuttle challenger disaster

it was january 28, 1986. late morning. i was in mrs. mohrmon's 4th grade classroom at oakwood elementary school. someone came to the door and she started crying. a few minutes later, she wheeled a TV in on a cart and plugged it in and we all watched the challenger shuttle explode into a puff of smoke. things that i thought were risk-free were not. 

freakin o-ring seals. (space shuttle challenger disaster on wikipedia)

in 2003 the nasa space shuttle program experienced another tragedy when the space shuttle columbia exploded on re-entry over texas.
