Jan. 11th, 2003 04:05 pmWhere were you...
1. When John F. Kennedy was shot (11/22/1963)
Good grief, my dad was 10 and my mum was 7 then. I wasn't even a thought.
2. When Mt. St. Helens blew (5/18/1980)
8 months old and living in Germany with my parents
3. When the Challenger exploded (January 28, 1986)
7 years old and still in Germany. I have vague memories of the news footage but that's about it
4. When the 7.1 earthquake hit San Francisco (10/7/1989)
I was 10 years old. Again I have vague memories of the news but that's about it
5. When the Berlin Wall fell (11/7/1989)
Now THIS I remember. I'd grown up living only a few short miles away from the Berlin wall. I didn't really understand how important the fall of the wall was, but it weirded me out seeing something so familiar get destoyed.
6. When the Gulf War began (1/16/1991)
I just remember getting scared because my dad got posted out there.
7. When OJ Simpson was chased in his White Bronco(6/17/1994)
I don't remember this at all. Just remember the trial
8. When the building in Oklahoma City was bombed (4/19/1995)
Again I don't remember.
9. When Princess Di was killed (8/31/1997)
In bed. I woke up when my clock radio turned on at 6am. That's when I found out.
10. When Bush was first announced President (11/7/2000)
At university, little realising what this would come to mean
11. When the 6.8 earthquake hit Nisqually, WA (2/28/2001)
Hmm....don't remember this either
12. When terrorists knocked over the World Trade Center (9/11/2001)
At work. Got a text message from my sister and then someone set up a tv in one of our conference rooms
