I imagine it was more important to Americans than Brits.<BR/><BR/>I vaguely recall where I was when P. Diana died - I know where i was that weekend. But I was never really one to follow royalty storylines, so perhaps other Americans remember it better.<BR/><BR/>I do remember the Challenger incident. but not the day and time. i remember the year and the Punky Brewster episodes on it and wanting to grow up to be an astronaut. Also, that year my school system transfered my neighborhood to a new building (expanding population, suburban growth, etc) and named the school after the teacher and our logo was the Challenger Spaceship. <BR/><BR/>But the first news incident I remember 'where i was and what i was doing when i heard about it' was the assassination of Zia - I was in Lahore - and probably would not have noticed it as much if it weren't for my cousins.<BR/><BR/>and the second news incident I remember in that way was the OKC bombing - I was in school, waiting in the front office to have my early holiday request signed by the principal, and the TV was on - I saw the news and walked back to my class in a daze. by the time I got down the hall and walked into class, the teacher had already heard and turned on the tv, too. <BR/><BR/>and yes, I remember where i was on Sept 11th, too. WTC hits were horrific, but closer to home, the Pentagon hit was in our backyard...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
