There's a couple that are close like the Columbia breaking into pieces, Princess Di's freakish death, Santana shootings (the "Colombine" that happened about 2 years later in a school here in San Diego area) and Oklahoma City Bombing (happened on my 13th birthday but I don't remember the day well), but the other 2 are actually:
- The OJ verdict: Announced on the PA at my middle school if you can believe it...my mom had the TV constantly on Court TV following that entire trial and it was just such a big deal, probably for the whole country but esp. being in SoCal.
- 9/11...god that was freaky...I'm waking up, still in a zombie half-woken state listening to my clock radio which normally wakes me up with music, people talking about planes flying into buildings and it took me maybe 20 minutes before I realized it had really happened, woke up my mom, and was glued to the TV for the better part of 2 days.
