My entire school was gathered in the cafeteria for the event, televised live.

We were all sent home for the day (some took the week) in the ensuing chaos.

If big bird had been in there, you think they would have killed off the character?

I mean, it would be pretty undeniable. When Henson died, he died in a hospital room, not while performing Kermit or Rowlf or any of his beloved characters.

If Caroll Spinney had been on Challenger, in character as Big Bird, on live TV, in front of a nation of schoolchildren, it would be crass to pretend it had never happened.
