I don't think I knew you went to Hunter. I was on Jeopardy in the same week as someone who was either your class or a year or two behind. This came up because one of the other contestants was also a Hunter alum (neither of them were still living in New York at the time) and Trebek seized upon this as being a very cool thing.
I honestly can't remember if I saw the Challenger explode live or if I saw the footage later - I was in the first grade when it happened and I do remember everyone being very excited about it, and there being a lot of build-up to it. We definitely watched footage of the aborted launch date prior to the explosion and I definitely saw the explosion within a day or two of it happening but no idea if it was in the classroom or at home.
