I was not at the Cape, I was 50 miles away from it, it does not go straight up, it will go up and then it takes a more southeastern angle and we were south of it which put it not far from us. It was a cold clear day and it was easy to make it out and see the capsule falling.
While watching the capsule fall I did not know they were still alive, with all the pieces falling I could not imagine them living through it, later the news said they were alive until they hit the ocean. We were listening to the radio and I will never forget the announcer's words " It looks like we have a major malfunction". I looked at my sister and said, "Do you think they had a major malfunction?". :(
Ohhhhh to witness that tragedy. Historic. Cannot unsee....
Yes, it is something that is embedded in my memory.
