25 Most Iconic Historical Events of the 90s

[@Buggy-su4oy]

John Candy and Chris Farley passing away shocked movie and SNL fans... in 1994 and 1997 especially with how young they both were.

[@susanrobinson910]

Really love John Candy so much, and was incredibly sad when he passed away. I just watched him in Uncle Buck yesterday on Netflix, but my all-time favorite movie of his is Planes, Trains, and Automobiles ❤

I was born in 1976, so I am a bit old(er), yet I can’t imagine what life would be like without the internet…I still remember getting this weird thing called Ethernet in college in 1995 that made it easier to look up what articles/books the University library had before going there to photocopy stuff. Saved SO much time on research papers

[@manueltapia1859]

The only bad thing is today young people use it for other reasons instead of learning. Call me obsolete but I still use books instead of internet

[@susanrobinson910]

The 1990s was my favorite decade. I would love to relive it. My sister sang in a rock band, and I made several new friends (I thought would last a lifetime). My mother lived up to and through most of 1999. I had a dog, a parrot and raised cockatiels. I had a job I could tolerate and comfortable living conditions.

[@rhowar1]

My favorite decade was the 80's. That's when I was a teenager and had experienced my first taste of independence after buying my first car, a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500. The music of the 80's was a great influence on me. I joined the Army right after I graduated high school and went overseas. That was 1986. I spent most of the 90's in uniform. I got out in 1998. Pop culture of the 90's was hard to escape. I wasn't a fan of 90's pop culture and I certainly don't miss it, although there were some things about the 90's I did like. I had a laser disc player and was the envy of my Army buddies. I had one of the first bag phones and everyone in the barracks wanted to use it to call home. I made a lot of extra money on the side. Keep up the good work!

[@abrahammorrison6374]

Don't forget Buckner and Garcia and Pac Man Fever and the video game craze.

[@newsmith]

Princess Diana's funeral: I was working at the Olive Garden in Toronto, Canada the night before her funeral and when I had finished closing (kitchen staff so done around 2am as this was a busy Friday), I walked down from the restaurant to the Skydome (now called the Rogers Center). Her funeral was to be displayed on the giant JumboTron and even at 2:30am, there were some people already there even though I believe the live broadcast was not scheduled until 6am. By the time it was being aired live, the stadium was quite full. I had stayed to watch the service as I felt it was the very least to do to honor a person I never knew but only through the media.

[@tammywebb1289]

For me, one of the most iconic tragedies happened in the Baltic Sea when HMS Estonia sank, killing 852 of approx 989 people onboard (none knows for sure) and promoted a change in the law to always have an accurate list of how many people were onboard at any given moment. My fave teacher at the time almost went onboard but her husband got sick the night before and so they were saved.

I remember hearing about Princess Dianna my first day of my grade 12 year. I heard about her death when I was getting ready for school on the radio. We didn't have cable at that time because we just moved to Cold Lake AB from Winnipeg MB and didn't have anything set up yet. Everyone was talking about her demise at school that day. Going to a new school was already pretty awful so sadly Dianna's death is permanently etched in my memory.

Weird coincidence here too. I'm a social worker and when studying we had "death" themed day. We visited police, morgue, hospital autopsy, funeral home, cemetary and crematorium. After the school day I went to my friend's place to talk about the day when my mom called. She said to open the TV. (Remember time zones, morning in America, afternoon in Europe. We opened the TV...

I've only gotten to the Branch Davidian clip so far this time. I don't think I will EVER forget that day! It was the day I met my bio-mom. The news broke in while we were getting acquainted, so she turned the volume up so we'd know what it was about. We both cried! Sure put a damper on our visit! EDIT: I'm ba-a-ack! 😁 Same disclaimer! I was driving to the grocery store w/ my daughter when we heard the news about Princess Diana's death on the radio. I remember EXACTLY where we were, at a red light. Oddly enough, I was at the same red light on my way to high school, years before, when I heard Elton John for the first time! His beautiful song, Daniel!
