When we had the terrible events on 9/11, I remember seeing it on the big screen TV in the fireplace lounge of the college that I was attending. This is an open lounge that is right there when you walk in the main doors and there were a lot of people there and the TV was on which was unusual so I walked over to see what was happening just as a plane was hitting the second tower. I was in shock!! Needless to say, since this is a college in Central NY, we had a lot of students from the city, classes were cancelled that day.

I was a Senior in high school when the Challenger exploded. They brought us into the gym to watch it on tv.

For 9/11 I was on the phone with my sis watching tv waiting for Robert & Jazz to get back from the doctors when my sis & I both thought it was odd to see what we saw happen until Brian Gumble kept saying....OMG OMG The Pentagon has been hit.

I dont remember where I was when Pricess Di died, but I remember crying hysterically. I was quite saddened by that great loss!

For the life of me I cant remember any good things LOL

On 9/11 I was at my boyfriends house. We woke up to the radio alarm and they were talking about it but not saying exactly WHAT had happened. We ended up calling someone to find out since he didn't have regular TV, he just watched movies. I had a doctors appointment that day and I remember the streets being empty, like a ghost town. Later I heard that a life flight from Alaska had been escorted to land in northern Washington by some Navy planes. Turns out they were in the air when all flights were grounded but somehow didn't get the call. They were carrying organs for a transplant that was to take place in Seattle. They ended up going the rest of the way by ambulance.

I was in third grade during the first war in Iraq. My mom was helping me redo my room and we were in a store getting my new bed when we heard that war had been declared on the radio.

Let me see here:

Challenger: sitting in the school gym, with the entire student body, watching the launch as there was a teacher on-board. The teachers all gasped and the TV was shut off and they ushered us all to our rooms ASAP and didn't tell us squat.

9/11: I was in a meeting at work, someone came in and the the twin towers were on fire. We broke up the meeting and went to the cafeteria and turned on NBC. They were talking about the fire, not sure what was going on when we watched the 2nd plane hit on live TV. Spent most the rest of the day watching, including when the towers fell.

Berlin Wall: yes, I remember playing hookie and being at my grandparents when they interupted whatever I was watching with the news the Cold War was over and the wall had fallen. I remember thinking wow, that is kinda cool--look at all them drinking & partying and getting to spray-paint and tear down that wall (I was 13).

realizing that for some reason, things like Di I know about, but I don't have much that was memorable about them. Guess once you start having tons of kids, most of your memories are first words, losing teeth, potty accidents in public, etc.
