The protracted silence is quite affecting. But I'm always impressed with the unflappable professionalism of the people involved in these tragic accidents.

I Watched it live on TV in a bookstore in Oscoda MI outside of Wurtsmith AFB where I was stationed at that time.

I was in school. They rolled a tv into the classroom so we could watch the news coverage.

The only other time I remember them doing that was when Mount St. Helens erupted.
