Answer 3

WHERE were YOU and HOW did YOU REACT?

These are the ones i can recall still
9/11/2001 - tennis courts with friends. It was all so unreal. My tennis partner had two very close friends working in the towers. I asked her if she wanted to go home and she said 'no - lets keep playing. I don't want to know'. She knew they would be dead (they were) and could not bear it. Very sad.

spaceshuttle explosion - Out west, waiting for Simpson Sears to open. I was watching a display of TV's in the window. The live launch was on and myself and 1/2 dozen others watched the explosion in stunned silence.

Answer 4

1. George Bush gets elected in 2000.... cringing at home, probably ripping my hair out

3. oklahoma city bombing: I barely remember seeing this on the news
4. spaceshuttle explosion: I can't recall where I was, but I couldn't get that punky brewster episode out of my head
5. OJ gets acquitted: Can't recall... I remember wiping boogers on my mom's desk and getting yelled at during the white bronco coverage though
6. Clinton sex scandal: lol my dad was all into Rush Limbaugh at the time, that's what i remember :(

Answer 5

1. I was at home watching it on T.V. thinking this nation is turning into stupid idiot morons and repeating this quote in my head "As individuals we are smart but you put us in a group and we are dumber than rocks."

2.Didn't find out till I got home. I fliped on the news and just stared in shock that someone would do that and not care about the familes who would have to go through all of that pain and suffering.

3. I was living around 6 cities away from the building living in a trailer and I was very young. My mom said that you could feel it like it was right next to you. Like a huge earthquake. She said it was very scary. Since I was young I guess I would have started crying.
