1. When John F. Kennedy was shot (11/22/1963)
Sleeping, crying or eating, I was 8 months old.
2. When Mt. St. Helens blew (5/18/1980)
Mostly likely at high school. Heard about it on TV.
3. When the space shuttle Challenger exploded (1/28/1986)
I was in bed in the dorm, my fiance called me and made me turn on the TV. I was numb.
4. When the 7.1 earthquake hit San Francisco (10/7/1989)
I watched it happen on TV until the camera went out.
5. When the Berlin Wall fell (11/7/1989)
Watched this one too on TV
6. When the Gulf War began (1/16/1991)
I was working in a bookstore. Couldn't get away from it with all those magazines surrounding me.
7. When OJ Simpson was chased in his White Bronco (6/17/1994)
Still working in the bookstore, watched the stupid white car driving around on all those TVs at Radio Shack.
8. When the building in Oklahoma City was bombed (4/19/1995)
I was living in Chanute Kansas, so close to the people from there is was especially difficult. My first thoought was for my friend Jeanne who was working there in a bookstore.
9. When Princess Di was killed (8/31/1997)
I was lying it bed watching TV, this was when hubby and I were trying to get us moved back to Kansas City, so I was in KC and he was in Chanute, it was a sad time.
10. When Bush was first announced President (11/7/2000)
Sitting in front of my computer, pissed off.
11. When the 6.8 earthquake hit Nisqually, WA (2/28/2001)
At work.
12. When terrorists knocked over the World Trade Center (9/11/2001)
I was still in bed, had been up chatting in IM with a friend who lives in Brooklyn, so I hadn't turned on the news or anything. I was on the bus and heard something about buildings falling in NY, it didn't hit me what I was actually hearing until a few minutes. Oh yes, buildings falling, how interesting The second building fell while I was in Walgreens and heard the aftermath on the radio. I was in a daze. What about the friend from Brooklyn, what about the other one who worked in the mayor's office and who could see the trade center from her window? It was a day from hell. The store closed early, but I worked my regular hours. I remember running to a local pub that has TVs and sitting at the bar eating a bowl of stew and watching the towers fall over and over...
