I'm 41, and 9/11 has to be the worst thing any American has ever seen.

A hung parliament is where no party can gain the majority of seats in the lower house of Parliament, known as House of Representatives in the federal Parliament. This was observed recently in the Tasmania state elections and also in South Australia in 2002 when the ALP fell one seat short to make up a government in the Legislative Counsel. The result in Tasmania was that the ALP conceded that they could not make up a government, and the Liberal Party was sworn in as a minority government. In South Australia, after much negotiation two independent MPs - Peter Lewis and Bob Such - decided to side with the ALP, which meant that they now had the greater number of seats. However, this also meant that Such and Lewis had the "balance of power" - every piece of legislation introduced by the ALP was subject to approval by the two independents, which put them in a good position to negotiate a better outcome for their electorate. In the case of the 2010 federal election, there are several possibilities. The most likely outcome is that the Greens will side with the ALP, leaving the four other independent MPs to negotiate with both the ALP and Liberal Parties to decide who would make the stronger government (or which party would have a better deal for the electorate they represent). If they fail to do so, it is then up to the Governor-General to call another election.

I am 33, and in my lifetime the first would have to be the Challenger blowing up. I was a child and watched it happen live and it was a horrible loss for all of us.
The second and most memorable of all is and will always be 9/11/01.... It changed the person I was.. It changed everything about me and how my future in this world would be.
The last *for now* would be Hurricane Katrina... I was living in San Antonio and saw the fall out.. I moved after the hurricane to the East Coast and twice drove thru the disaster area within a 3 month period... it brought much sorrow and tears to me to see so many homeless and lost.. and so much destroyed.
I think this war we are in will be a globally-memorable horror by the time it is over.. if it ever ends. :'(

I'm 33 and 9/11 is the most memorable event that I witnessed live (on TV; I saw the second tower get hit, then all the Pentagon stuff & wondering how many more planes were out there that could do damage). I remember where I was when I saw it. I work near an Air Force base now & it freaks me out when I see a big plane comes in low to land. I know it's because of 9/11 & seeing the Towers get hit.

I agree that 9/11 was memorable and maybe more so when we see where it leads.
For me the most memorable was the Cuban Missile Crisis. I don't think we will really know how close we came to nuclear war with the Soviets. I had just finished a tour in the Marine Corps and was frightened a number of time. But nothing compared to the Cuban Missile Crisis. I was so sure it was the end. I was scared sh**less for days. So many other memorable events occurred in life. So many unnecessary deaths of admirable men.

Hello,
54. The most memorable event was Kennedy's assassination. That was the first huge news event in my life and in those days we only had the black and white TV's which focused on that only for several days. I remember where I was and what I was doing that day.
I just want to point out that when you are younger you are far more influenced and sensitive to these sorts of things but over the years you tend to become more and more desensitized to things. Even in fantasy movies you have witnessed thosands of murders, incalculable scenes of violence as well as real ugly world and local events.
911 certainly left an impression but not as much as Kennedy.
Regards,
Michael Kelly

definitely the challenger.
I had wanted to be an astronaut back then. I seen the space program fall to pieces after that.
It didn't happen HERE, but watching the Berlin Wall come down really touched me. I was both happy and scared. On one hand a symbol of hate and pain was brought down. On the other hand the Nation that Started BOTH world wars was WHOLE once more.

9/11 because i remember everything that happened that day. I could see the towers from my high school in bklyn. A lot of the students were picked up by their parents throughout the day. I had teachers and classmates that lost people, and i remember all of the debri that blew all the way to bklyn.

I'll soon be 50.
The Kennedy Assassination is my vote - although 9/11 and Challenger are close.
I think because I was so young, yet old enough to understand (somewhat) what had happened, and watched the entire thing on TV (Walter Cronkite crying???) it left an indelible imprint on my life.
