I went to the thrift store this morning like I do most Saturday mornings. They had a TV on and I saw the news report of the space shuttle burning up on re-entry. Naturally I left to go home and watch the news, but it struck me as odd that I'd find out this way since I'd both been watching TV and been online prior to leaving the house and saw no mention of it. I found out about JFK Jr.'s plane crash in the same store in the same way. And I found out about the Sept. 11 attacks by seeing CNN coverage on dozens of TV's in the electronics section of a department store.
