I was home sick from school, playing with my GI Joes (I was 9 going on 10), and listening to Z-100 at my home in Malverne, NY. Madonna's Material Girl had just finished, when I heard an annoucement on the radio that the Challenger had exploded.

I remember running down to tell my mom.

Its interesting that I learned about the Challenger and 9/11 on the radio. I heard about 9/11 while driving to work, on the Howard Stern show no less.

I was home sick too (8th grade) Saw it on TV. I can still feel the shock of seeing the explosion and knowing that was'nt a normal launch.
