I was a freshman at Caroll High School in Dayton. I was waiting in the lunch line when one of my buddies asked "Hey did you hear about the space shuttle".
Thinking it was the opening line of a joke I gave the typical "no what" reply.
"It blew up!"
"I don't get it."
After lunch I spent the rest of the day in every class watching the new coverage. The Centerville teacher who was an alternate was featured prominently...all the local news crews were at Centerville filming his classroom.
The poor guy was on TV trying to answer the kids questions about what just happened...

BTW anyone want to tell me how 2008 - 1986 = 19?

I vividly remember being in 8th grade science class. The teacher was called out of class and came back in w/ tears in his eyes. He went and got an AV cart w/ a TV and we proceeded to watch the aftermath.

I wonder if the Columbia loss would be remembered more vividly if it hadn't happened so close to 9/11.
I hate you all.

Was in kindergarden at Wilson Hill Elementary. I had no idea what the hell was going on when we watched it with the other kindergarden class. I do remember the teachers being sad.

Q: Did you know that Christa McAuliffe was blue eyed?
A: One blew left and one blew right.
Q: What were Christa McAuliffe's last words?
A: "What's this button do?"
Q: What were Christa McAuliffe's last words to her husband?
A: "You feed the kids - I'll feed the fish."
Q: What was the Shuttle's last transmission?
A: "I said BUD LITE!"
Q: What does NASA stand for?
A1: Need Another Seven Astronauts
A2: Need Another Shuttle Also
A3: Chicken Kiev [Ed: Punchline to another joke.]
Q: Did you know why there was only one black crew member on Challenger?
A: They didn't know it was going to blow up.
Q: Did you know that NASA has a new space drink?
A: Ocean Spray - It was their second choice because they couldn't
get 7-UP.
Q: When the next shuttle launches into space, what will the senior

A: "72, 73, 74 BOOM! - Just kidding guys!"
Q: What do Playtex tampon users and Christa McAuliffe have in common?
A: They both should have stayed on the pad.

Q: How many people will fit in a Florida Volkswagen?
A: Four in the seats and seven in the ashtray.

A: They both went down on the challenger.
Q: Did you hear that they are sending up another teacher on the next
shuttle mission?

Tasteless jokes don't trivialize an event. They are one way people have found to deal with the stress of unusual events.
example
Pretty much everyone on this thread could remember what they were doing that day and I bet almost all of them could also remember one or more of these very jokes, probably word for word.

Lunatic Fringe
2nd Grade. Cherry Valley elementary school here in Newark. Teacher took our class to the janitors "office" to watch it on the only remaining tv in school. It exploded, the teacher cried.
That was the same teacher that ripped up my tOSU basketball program with Dennis Hopson's autograph on it. :(
