Ripped off from LiveJournal:



Where were you when?



1. When John F. Kennedy was shot (22/11/1963)

Not born.



2. When Mt. St. Helens blew (18/5/1980)

I was in elementary school. I remember talking about it with my dad.



3. When the space shuttle Challenger exploded (28/1/1986)

I was sitting in the floor at my neighbor Mike's house, playing a game, where we'd gone to visit on a snow day. The TV was on, and I heard the countdown announced. I looked up at the last moment, and saw it arc into the air and explode.



4. When the 7.1 earthquake hit San Francisco (7/10/1989)

Watching the game in my brother's room, with my dad.

I don't remember.



6. When the Gulf War began (16/1/1991)

I don't remember.



7. When OJ Simpson was chased in his White Bronco (17/6/1994)

I was at my grandmother's house in Illinois; we we sat in the living room and watched.



8. When the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed (19/4/1995)

I was driving to my job at Murray State, and heard it on the radio. No one there had heard yet.



9. When Princess Di was killed (31/8/1997)

I was in Dallas, visiting John.

There was an earthquake in Nisqually, WA?



12. When terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center (11/9/2001)

I was at home, visiting, sitting in front of the computer in my pajamas, when I heard my dad come through the front door and stride through the house. "A plane's hit the World Trade Center," he said, going to the television. We sat on the bed in my parents' bedroom and watched. The second plane hit. The stunned announcer said he couldn't believe the horrible coincidence. "It's not one," Dad said. 'It's terrorism."



13. When Columbia disintegrated during re-entry over Texas. (1/2/2003)

My brother was visiting.
