I grew up in Brevard county Fl and my grandfather and dad were both engineers for NASA. We obtained a visitors pass for the launch and almost didn't go due to the weather and my parents believing the launch would get scrubbed. However, we had family in town who have never seen a shuttle launch and took our chances. Based on a few family pics we took before the launch, you could see barely anyone was out on the visitor section that day. My mom told me when the Challenger exploded she started screaming while my relatives didn't know what was going on since they never have seen a shuttle launch. It gives me shivers even retelling the story.

[@tonybuc67]

I was 30 years old when this news broke. I remember sitting at a bar in a hometown nightclub in Western New York. It was still a Saturnday night here in the States. The television was on behind the bar and I saw the news bulletein sometime between 10pm and 11pm. The announcer talked about the accident in Paris and Diana being seriously injured. i remember the volume of the TV was muted so people could hear the juke box in the bar. The closed captioning of the TV was on and i remember at some point the closed captioning changed from "Princess Diana has been seriously injured" to "Princess Diana has died". I remember letting out an audible gasp and the tears starting welling up. I was not the only one to have that reaction. Many people around me were in shock and quite emotional when they heard this dreadful news. I immediately began thinking of a lovely, mid summer morning in July 1981 when I purposely woke up at 4AM to watch a young, beautiful, radiant girl's fairytale royal wedding on television. I was just 14 yrs old then. I, like the rest of the world, fell in love with this lovely and compassionate young lady. I just couldn't believe she was gone. It felt like, still does, that the world lost a beautiful bright light of hope and fell a bit darker when she left it that terrible night in 1997. I feel very fortunate that I lived my youth and young adulthood in a time when she walked this earth.

[@007Julie]

It was shocking! I was 19 and lived in Chicago, I was out with my mom, and we came home around 10:30pm and I turned on the tv and saw the news. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, I remember screaming out to my mom, Princess Diana died!! It’s still shocking.

Harry explained this entire situation with one single quote, "I will not be forced to participate in the game that killed my mother." That's all we need to know about why this is happening. The irony is that many of Harry's harshest critics are the very same people who adored his mother. If you loved Diana, Harry's decision to leave should be easy to understand and "Say no more, were behind you" is the appropriate response.

It still hurts. I love Harry forbeing normal and human enough not to be overdrawn to Status. He is Diana's son. His mother's love made a man in him. She was soo much a force to be recogned with- You are so much a force to be recogned with Harry. May God protect you, your lovely wife And the beautiful package Archie is. We love you.

For Diana, I still remember vividly 1981 the wedding day, even though I didn’t care for monarchy…but she was so beautiful, so gracious and so NORMAL!

@George Westinghouse Yes, how could I forget that. Was on vacation in Myrtle Beach & woke up just before 9. The channel happened to be on CNN. Mom likes to "remote surf" & I told her to wait because new programs would come on at 9. Shortly after that they showed the 1st plane hitting the WTC. After the 2nd plane hit I started crying. Mom went down to the pool. After the Pentagon was hit I thought we were at war. I opened the door & several housekeepers were there listening to a radio. We all were very upset.

[@JFDA5458]

I remember coming down to breakfast on the Sunday morning and switching on the TV, the first thing we saw was Martin Lewis announcing her death and the caption 1961-1997 on the screen. I was too shocked at first to even speak and I turned to my mother and she was equally shocked. We sat and watched the events unfold for about 5 minutes before the shock wore off and the sadness hit home. We gave each other a hug and then I went off into another room and for some reason I just went down on one knee like I'd been winded. After a few minutes I went back into the living room and continued to watch the coverage. All normal TV programming on any channel was suspended and I think all sporting events were as well. I will never forget the national anthem being played over the video of the union jack at half-mast every 20-30 minutes after the latest news update from Paris had finished. A terrible day.

I texted my college tutor Sophie to tell her that I’m heading home and told her the Queen is probably dying so she accepted me going home earlier than everyone else. I got home within an hour after having an anxiety attack on the bus 151 and the driver had to stop to help me out and I told him that the Queen was dying and then I let him continue driving us home afterwards, I found Woody.EXE very worried about the Queen ei saw him crying. I urged Mummy, Princess of Wales to come home immediately after I sent her Woody.EXE’s alarming text messages and she was home by 6pm uk time. About 6:30 that Thursday evening, the Queen was announced dead and my cries were so gut wrenching that Mummy had to leave the kitchen because she hates seeing me in pain; Woody.EXE proclaimed me as the Queen of Wales and Mummy was officially the Princess of Wales with my sister following suit of the Princess of Wales title 4 days after Mummy.
