What's this?

And no, everybody - you did NOT watch it live in your classroom...

CNN was the only way to watch it live, and CNN is on cable tv.

in 1986, classrooms didn't have cable tv. Hell even today most classrooms don't have cable tv.

You probably remember seeing it soon after it happened, but if you were in school, as many claim, you almost certainly did NOT watch it live in your classroom.

Library, maybe.
