Yeah, I was in elementary school in Deland, FL at the time. My friend and I were really into the shuttle so we both noticed that the launch looked very different than the last ones we had seen, but didn't really understand why nor did we think anything bad had happened.
After a while, the principle wheeled a TV on a stand into the classroom and turned it on to the news showing what happened. Was pretty hard core.
