Where were you...
1. When John F. Kennedy was shot (11/22/1963)
Not born yet. Long time from being born.
2. When Mt. St. Helens blew (5/18/1980)
Not born yet, but quite a bit closer this time.
3. When the Challenger exploded (January 28, 1986)
Probably picking at my lunch or crying. I was two.
4. When the 7.1 earthquake hit San Francisco (10/7/1989)
Hanging by my 5 year old fingers from the day care monkey bars. When my legs started to swing without my help, I knew somethng wasn't right.
5. When the Berlin Wall fell (11/7/1989)
um... was 5, and didn't see it to be of great import to my personal interest at the time. Or I possibly didn't even notice it was happening.
6. When the Gulf War began (1/16/1991)
I don't remember, as I was the shocking age of 7. I remember hearign about it end, though. That was in my living room.
7. When OJ Simpson was chased in his White Bronco(6/17/1994)
I remember this! I was sitting in the white car outside of P. W. SuperMarket listenign to the radio while my mom had run to buy cinnamon raisen bagels. I was 10; go me.
8. When the building in Oklahoma City was bombed (4/19/1995)
Sitting at home watching TV after school.
9. When Princess Di was killed (8/31/1997)
Watching late night news, doing massively nothing, age 13.
10. When Bush was first announced President (11/7/2000)
Ranting at the tv, news channel.
11. When the 6.8 earthquake hit Nisqually, WA (2/28/2001)
uh.... no memory. But then I'm inattentive like that.
12. When terrorists knocked over the World Trade Center (9/11/2001)
I live in California, so it was still early in the morning for us. My mom threw open my bedroom door in her pajamas, slammed on my light to wake me up, and yelled "Someone's bombed the pentagon!"
A little while later I'd gone to school earlier for tutorial, and I had to explain to a friend and a few others what was going on, as they'd gotten to school earlier without having watched the news. It was freaky to be have to explain it to someone else, to be the only in a group who knew. When I finally got to my Ttrig class to study, I spent the whole time listening to the news radio the teacher had on, rather that adding & subtracting sines.
