Ummm...I have never sat down and had a good hard look at a bumblebee but...that's a bumblebee?

I'm a female, 36yo living and working in NYC soon relocating to Copenhagen, DK. In the advertising biz, a self proclaimed knowledge junkie that checks out Neatorama everyday. I also have my own design website:

Happy Birthday Neatorama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in junior high and my mom was driving me back to school from an orthodontic appointment. We heard the news on a the car radio. When I got back to school I told the teacher, I don't know if she believed me or not but just then the principal made an announcement over the loudspeaker that everyone was to report to the gym for an emergency school assembly. Once everyone gathered, they told us what had happened. I don't remember anyone being overly emotional about the event. It was kind of like, wow oh really? That's too bad. But I remember thinking about it alot. Since there was a school teacher on board, a regular person not an astronaut, for some reason that made it even more real for me. I remember thinking alot about her family and what those last moments must have been like.
