I always thought it was a bit weird when people my parents age would talk about what they were doing when JFK was assassinated. But I’ve recently noticed that we have our own snapshot moment as well.
Where were you when the challenger exploded?
I was waiting in the school lunch line, to order a microwave pizza. It was weird, at some point someone overheard someone else mention it. We all thought it was a joke at first, “wouldn’t it be funny if...” Then later in the day the principle called a school assembly and we watched CNN for an hour in the auditorium.
