We were in the cafeteria. Small rural school, only 1 TV available. I remember the teachers got quiet when the Challenger blew up. We all then had to go back to our classrooms. It does seem to have been a mass traumatization event.
Same, 3rd grade. The whole elementary school was outside on the black top looking up. Until the explosion when the teachers got quiet & rushed us back inside to our classrooms.
we went out and watched it in central Florida, i was in grade school
Up until recently, I didn’t really realize that my Challenger experience was a shared experience…
I was in a classroom, with the TV cart at the front of the room. We watch TV for a while, the Challenger blew up…
I guess I never thought about it… that maybe my experience was shared with like the other kids in my classroom…
But what has recently come to my attention Is that every kid that was in any classroom, anywhere in America, had a TV in front of their classroom…
And we all saw the exact same thing at the exact same time
this exposion was planned
and i strongly suspect the mass traumatizing of all of our children was also part if the plan
Interesting. I agree. Everyone I know my age was watching it in a classroom, now that you mention it.
