For Live Aid? (13 July, 1985)
Er I was only 4 so I don't remember
When flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie? (21 December, 1988)
And again I was 7 so *shrug*
When the Berlin Wall fell (9 November, 1989)
Was watching the progress of this on Blue Peter and News Round. Everyone thought I was a bit sad for that.
When Thatcher resigned (22 November, 1990)
*shrug*
When the Gulf War began (16 January, 1991)
I was in bed at the time, but I got up to go get a drink and saw my brother watching the news. I went into school the next day and reported it to my teacher - felt really smart being the 'first to know'.
When Thomas Hamilton shot 3 teachers and 28 pupils at Dunblane primary school? (13 March, 1996)
I don't remember this one.
When Princess Di was killed (31 August, 1997)
I remember this one - I was at a Star Trek convention and it was the last day of it on the night she died, I went to grab some sleep in the coat room (didn't have a room cause the hotel was full. I couldn't sleep and was thinking about getting up to dance but didn't want to wake any of my mates. The someone came in and says 'Diana and Dodi Died' and I didn't even process it, I went 'ah, oh, whatever' and got up and went to dance.
The rest of the convetion was silent and everyone was really upset about some woman non of them even knew. I thought it was pretty stupid really - Mother Teresas death was close to Di's funeral and she really should have gotten more attention.
Rant over.
At midnight, 31 January, 1999?
At home playing on the computer and wondering what the fuss was about.
When terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center (11 September, 2001)
At work - it was the second day in my new job. There were a couple of Americans and some people with American long distance boy/girlfriends and they were all really stressed out.
We took a while off training to watch the news and stuff.
When Columbia disintegrated during re-entry over Texas. (1/2/2003)
I don't remember this one either. I remember challenger (in a way, although I was pretty young I was really into space exploration) but this one didn't really have much impact on me.
