I was working on a high rise doing construction down in Naples on the gulf coast of FL. It was a cool, crisp day with a deep blue sky that made the visibility perfect. I can't remember if it was break time or lunch but we headed to the east side of the building to ride the buck hoist down to the ground. Even though Naples is over 200 miles from the cape on a clear day you can still see the shuttle launch. Being up high on the condo also helped.

So a friend and I were waiting for the hoist and we could clearly see the contrail had split in two and I said " That can't be good ". Made it to my car and put on the radio and heard the news.It was the first time in my life that I felt the USA wasn't perfect.
