Space Shuttle Challenger. Our 5 year old son was off school with mumps and I couldn't believe what I was seeing as I sat watching the TV with him.

My JFK moment was when JFK'death was announced on the radio.

I was 14 and had just called into a friends house on the way to a dance class. Got to class late and when we explained what we had heard at her house no one believed us until another late arrival came in with the same horrible news.

1963 -- no mobile phones or Google in those days and Transistor radios weren't that 'hip' as it was before pirate radio hit the scene.
