I even remember the song that was playing on my car radio when the broadcast was interrupted to report the crash. It was the song "Russians" by Sting.

I was living rent-free at a relatives house at the time as they went to Florida for the winter and it was my job to keep an eye on their house and the driveway shoveled. I immediately went to that house and spent the rest of the afternoon watching the coverage on their old fashioned TV with the rabbit ears. They even had a rotary phone in the hallway on top of a doily on a small round table. That was a very strange winter. The next year, I got married.

A few years before, the band Rush witnessed the first launch of Columbia and wrote a song about it.
