Where where you or what where you doing when ?

[szidlon]

Do you remember where you were or what you were doing when some of the most memorable events in our history occurred? Do you remember what you were doing or where you were?

These may not be in chronological order and some of you may not even have been born when these events occurred. It also does not reflect the importance of any one event over another.

The day John F. Kennedy was assassinated

The day Elvis died

The day of the Exxon Valdez disaster

The day Robert Kennedy was assassinated

Sept 11, 2001 – no more needs to be said other than the date

The day Martin Luther King was assassinated

The day of the 1994 Northbridge earthquake in California

The day Richard M. Nixon resigned

The day John Lennon was assassinated

The day Princess Di was killed in an auto accident


If you want to add more events to test our memories, feel free to do so. I don’t even know what I was doing at the time a lot of these events occurred.

[CichlidFan]

I can remember all of them, but only a few of them can I tell you where and what I was doing when I heard about them.

Most memorable would have been these two .....JFK & 9/11.

CF......

You can breath now, I'm done.... :)

The day John F. Kennedy was assassinated

I was not born yet, but the day his son died in the plane crash I was working.

The day Elvis died

I believe I was in School that day. I remember my cousin was so in love with Elvis and he was very upset.

The day of the Exxon Valdez disaster

Don't know

The day Robert Kennedy was assassinated

I was a baby, probally potty trained by that time, but don't remember if I was on the potty or in bed.

Sept 11, 2001 – no more needs to be said other than the date

At home watching TV, something I never do early in the morning, talking to a friend on the phone and telling her "TURN YOUR TV ON!" This was before the 2nd plane crashed into the twin towers.

The day Martin Luther King was assassinated

Again, just a baby at the time.

The day of the 1994 Northbridge earthquake in California

Glued to the news, my cousin and his family was living in California at the time. Noone could reach them on the phone.

The day Richard M. Nixon resigned

I remember watergate being all over the news but I really didn't pay attention. I was too young.

The day John Lennon was assassinated

Don't know what I was doing that day but I do remember it being all over the news.

The day Princess Di was killed in an auto accident

I worked that day and watched the news on my lunch break.

I wasn't born for some, but of the ones I was around the only two I remember where I was. For 9/11 I was driving in the car. When Princess Di died I was at home on maternity leave with my second son.

[Tabeguache]

September 11: I was teaching in an alternative school in Jacksonville, Fl. One of the probation officers came in and turned on the TV just as the second tower was hit. We suspended all lesson plans and spent the week talking about the Middle East and the politics involved.

Princess Diana: Partying at a "round the world" fraternity party in college.

I remember watching news reports for the Exxon Valdez disaster and the Northridge Earthquake, but don't remember where I was for them.
