The BBC has an article pointing out that today is the 25th anniversary of the Challenger space shuttle disaster. This was one of the first news events that really shook me, and the first time (that I can remember, anyway) that I saw people killed on live TV. For some reason what I remember most, though, is reading the newspaper coverage the next morning while waiting to have my hair cut. =:S
