Where were you when Elvis died? August 16 1977

 

I was in Sioux Falls S.D. on a trip with my parents. I was 13 and remember being in the holiday Inn downtown and hearing people crying in their rooms and all the news that day all over the t.v.

 

Where were you when John Lennon got shot? December 8th 1980

 

I was in my high school cafeteria and remember everyone being in shock because their music idol died.

 

Where were you when JFK got assassinated? November 22nd 1963

 

I was not born but in the womb. My mother was in the Glass Block store in Dultuh Minnesota and she told me all the women were crying and collapsing in the store.

 

Where were you? Yes, some of you weren't alive then but this is for the older guys and girls so don't everyone answer " hahahaha I wasn't even thought of yet because we already know that" Maybe you have some huge event that you remember in this way, add that instead.

911:

I was at home sleeping and my friend phoned me at about 10 to nine I think and said " wake up, wake up the states is being attacked"

So we rushed to the t.v. in time to see the second plane hit. I watched CNN and other news all day til I fell asleep. The most thing I remember was the feeling of vulnerability that day.

 

P.S. nice of you all to keep up with the yellow theme LOL.

9/11 I was sick as a dog so was at home and just happen to be watching the news that morning. after that day I haven't watch the news. side note 2 weeks b4 i was in New York ate lunch near WTC never went in WTC but had been there before. Mother had said thank god you took your trip last month is all that was ever said.

9/11

Grade 7. In school, just before class, cramming before a test. I remember all the teachers were in the teacher's lounge and some were crying as they walked back to the classes. Some the of kids said New York was being bombed and I remember one of the kids saying the Russians had attacked and America was going to war. That freaked me the out.

We were sent home at lunch.

Wasn't born for another 22 years.

when 9/11 happened i was in my 6th grade technology class typing up a paper about "what i do in a daily routine"

 

The prinicpal came on the loud speaker and announced it, I didnt really know what happened cause I didnt know what the WTC was. We didnt get off early :D

during 9/11 i was a freshman and i had just woke up to get ready for school. my mom was awake and i saw her eyes teary. then i looked at the tv and i saw the WTC smoking....
I was in Gr.11 at the time, classes hadn't even started and we had 100 people in the library watching the TVs.
Before what happened to the WTC, I was away with the St. John Ambulance team but the day after finding out what happened with the second plane hitting the WTC, we were told that we can volunteer with SAR (search and rescue) so I went to New York, New York on behalf of the St. John Ambulance Organization and I helped with the SAR team there. I also witnessed some people who got killed from the leftover falling debris of the WTC. Too bad i didn't have a camera, but it's a peice of memory, I will never forget. It's unfortunate that this happened. *cries*

911.

 

I had just gotten home from dialysis at the hospital and was actually playing FA at the time. Some dude was like, "hey, the us is under attack. Some planes just crashed into to the world trade towers," I believe I said, "****."

 

I watched cnn for hours on end. That **** was horrific.

9/11

 

I woke up at 9ish. by then the first plane crashed, I watched till the second plane crashed.It was unreal so I went about my day, went to Best Buy ,got the new 'POD' CD that came out, went to work, and listned to 'Youth of the Nation' over and over. Not much I could do :D

...9/11(kinda ironic, its the emergency number :D )

OH MY GOD, I NEVER NOTICED THAT. DID ANYONE ELSE? OH, WOW, THAT BLOWS MY MIND. HOW INSIGHTFUL. WOW.

lol steveo, i hate to be blunt, but that was really stupid on your part. They said it so many times on the news, and its kinda obvious :D

 

Might be a good conversation starter if you meet a blonde chick though :D

Boja, and those at Bojacorp do NOT support the reproduction of blonde jokes. He, and they, find them to be quite nice people even if some are a bit slow.

911: I was at school, it was a Wednesday. Some people were talking about how planes had crashed into some buildings. I didn't believe it, because I just thought they were pulling my string. But then a notice went home after school, and I watched CNN for three hours, trying to find out what happened. Then I went to the fair.
