I was 7 years old when the Challenger tragedy went down. We were watching it at School and when it exploded, we all were in shock, and a few kids cried. The Teacher (to her credit in my opinion) didn't immediately turn it off. That's extra significant for me because it taught me how to process Death, which came in handy the very next year when my Mom died. I will never ever forget that.

As bad as the Challenger disaster was, it could have been worse. One thing they considered was bringing Caroll Spinney aboard in a "Big Bird goes to space" story. These plans were scuttled when they discovered that the Big Bird puppet was too bulky to function properly on the shuttle. Just consider that thousands of young children could have been watching live as Big Bird died.

I was only in my 2nd year of high school (Sophomore year) when 9/11 happened, what made it worse was my big brother who worked at the Pentagon at the time but was thankfully ten minutes late (the one and only time he was ever grateful to be late) and helped assist in rescue operations. My family and I were very scared for him since we had no way of knowing if he was alive or dead, he eventually called that afternoon and said that he was ok. Sadly, the same couldn't be said a classmate of my school who was in new york city at the time to visit family; he was apparently with his grandfather toward the top of the world trade center when the planes struck, he and his grandfathers remains were never found.

I know as an Oklahoman I’m probably biased, but I think the Oklahoma City bombing should be on this list. This was an attack that no one thought could happen, at a location no one would have ever thought of. And it did have a worldwide impact, as countries across the globe were shocked and, in some instances, worried they would be blamed. The US never expected to see such scenes of devastation here, especially not in a “rural” area like OKC.

No, that was not a big deal globally. I can think of many larger global events from the shooting of John Lennon to the downing of Pan Am Flight 103, which changed flying around the globe. I'm British and the Oklahoma bombing was obviously on the news but they found it was homegrown terrorism immediately and from our perspective, the USA often has crazy events like constant school/mass shootings or Waco or Jonestown or the Boston Bombing or the attempted assassination of Reagan which was way bigger globally. It probably felt massive to you as you lived nearby but globally there are dozens of bigger events in my lifetime. Chernobyl should be on the list, the 2002 tsunami and Fukashima. America losing the war to the Taliban was massive globally and completely changed the balance of power globally. Most Americans don't seem to release how much that changed how they are seen, it gave Putin confidence to invade Ukraine as he saw the US military completely collapse to the Taliban. Anyway waffled sorry.

I was living in lower Manhattan when 9/11 happened. My son was only 7 months old. Watch the second tower get hit with my own eyes. That is something that is branded in my brain. No phones to contact family and the walk from Manhattan to Brooklyn took forever. Pushing my son in the stroller crossing the bridge the burnt smell of bodies and other debris is not something I can ever forget.

I was in 7th grade on 9/11. I remember the school principal dismissing school early that day. He cited a "bee infestation" on campus and the school had to clear out the students so insecticides could be used in mass quantities. I also remember finding out that teachers were forbidden from telling students the truth that day before dismissal, the principal going as far as willing to fire on-the-spot any teacher who mentioned anything more than "something has happened, but I can't tell you what." My own panicked parents, anti-violence Catholics, picked me up and had to explain to their 13-year-old son why evil men would collide planes with buildings to murder lots of people. I think that is the day I grew up to the world around me. It was no longer sunshine and rainbows and how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop, but actual American carnage and human hatred. The bee infestation is definitely much less sinister and more enjoyable. I'd rather it have had been that reason! :D

I was in 1st Grade when 9/11 happened. As a child I had absolutely no idea what was happening at the time. However I do remember how My mother picked me up from my school & took me to the restaurant where she worked as a bartender at the time because that was the only place she could think of that she knew was the safest place at that time. At that time the restaurant originally didn’t have a TV. However someone there brought in a TV and everyone from customers and staff were all watching the events unravel in complete shock.I remembered seeing the images of the twin towers on fire and unfortunately the part of the broadcast of when the second plane hit the tower. That’s when I knew something truly evil and awful was happening on that infamous day.

We got to school around 8:15 and when we heard it we were ushered out into a part of the school where three classes of 6th grade students were and watched until lunch. After lunch, we went back to our normal classes but some people were excused to leave from the trauma. It was also our picture day so we took pictures and had to fake smiles that day knowing what we had seen only an hour or two before.

I was in kindergarten when 9/11 happened, I remember seeing the reactions from teachers and the teachers talking to each other and crying and then my parents picked me up, and my dad wanted to see the towers up close, but they had already closed Manhattan off for cars, so we went to a nearby dunkin donuts and that's when my mom who was like 4 months pregnant with my sister watched the news on the TV with my dad and I and I recall my dad talking with the employees about what could've happen or who did it, and I remember my mom shedding a tear. And when we drove back home, there was a hill where you can pretty much see all of Manhattans buildings, and I remember seeing huge huge huge black smoke coming from Manhattan. I still have that memory now at 26 years old. What's so eerie to me is that 3 months before 9/11, we visited the towers and pretty much went to the observation deck, and still have that photo of me and the sphere behind me as well as the towers, and then a photo I have of the towers that my dad took. Never knew that would've been the last time I'd see them in person. So now I cherish those photos and look at them once in a while.

9/11 I remember all too well. I was working as a production director at a CBS affiliate. I watched everything unfold live. I remember after the second plane hit, I looked over at my future wife and said “America is under attack!” I then yelled for the news anchor and informed him of what was happening. A few minutes later, we went live on the air for a few minutes before throwing it back to network coverage. We never went back on the air that day, only broadcasting live CBS feed. I still remember leaving the station after my shift and noticing how eerily quiet it was outside. Not much traffic on the highway and no air traffic. 21 years and I remember it like it was yesterday.

I was one of the millions of children that watched the Challenger explode that day... just like a lot of schools around the nation that morning, I was watching with my entire school. We gathered in the cafeteria to watch the shuttle launch. One 5 different CRT televisions (one rollaway stands, remember those?), we witnessed the explosion. I still have memories of us just being so confused, as our PE coach went across all five tv's and turned them off. We were instructed to go back to class. Some of the kids thought it was part of the launch. Others thought it was "cool." Others (like myself), were confused as to why some of our teachers were crying. Once we got back to class, our teacher literally went about with the days lesson plan. I remember there was a prayer spoken over the PA just before we were let out. It wasn't until my uncle picked me up that I knew exactly what had happened - they died. I was in the 2nd grade...

Some events stay with us forever. I remember hearing of JFK's assassination as a 4th-grader in a Catholic school in Yakima, WA. The memory of the shock and emotion is still with me. As a hIgh school sophomore in San Antonio, I watched the moon landing on TV with my siblings. Neighbors were drifting in and out of each others' homes as we all watched. My husband was stationed, with the US Army, in West Berlin, so we lived there in the late 1970's. I was working as night aufitor at a hotel in Dallas when the Berlin Wall came down, and I remember crying for happiness as I watched the news on the lobby TV. I was at work at a university library in San Antonio on September 11; all work came to a halt as we tried to get accurate news. The shock and sorrow semed endless.

I'm 57. I' ve either heard of or lived through all of these events. 9/11 was the most dramatic, and "in my face". Means nothing to temperature/ climate change. I'm watching it happen in my own lifetime, for real. Way too fast for global changes to even be noticeable, but they are.

I was in an airplane with my family moving from Hawaii to California on 9/11. I've always believed that the timezone difference between New York and Hawaii was why we weren't grounded, though I'm still not sure. I was 7 when it happened, but I never actually knew what was happening until a decade later; I do remember everyone, including my mom, being on edge and very nervous, and to think I was blissfully unaware the reason why.

I was there when the Berlin wall fell. 5 years old sitting on my father's shoulders. (American, dad was in Army) it was such a powerful moment, it's stuck with me forever. People coming together despite differences, feeling that excitement and love and peace in the air .......at the time all I saw were people laughing and smiling and destroying a wall with graffiti on it as it got darker and darker outside, then we went home. Wasn't until I was older did I realize how powerful and hopeful of a moment that was for humanity 🌎❤

2020 was a rough year, I had my vaccinations and a booster but still ended up catching it because someone who had it at my mom’s dialysis clinic infected multiple people. I was stuck in bed for a few days and lost my sense of taste but bounced back fairly quickly. The fever dreams were the worst part! Hopefully things will ease up a bit and give us a breather! I’m ready for a boring year where I don’t feel like karate chopping someone in the neck. Edit: I was home sick when 9/11 happened but didn’t see the first plane hit. I went with my mom to get donuts and got home just in time to witness the 2nd plane hit. My school opted to make a bunch of angel cutouts and wrote a name of each life lost on them. We each picked two angels and wore them all week in tribute.

I was at the Magic Kingdom on 9/11 and my husband had the ring in his pocket to propose to me that day. It was very eerie to be at the happiest place on earth on the saddest day in America. When we were evacuated, he stopped me at the front of the park and started to cry and said today was supposed to be a special day. I had a feeling he was going to tell me he was planning on proposing so I calmly stopped him, held his hand and told him we would come back the next day. He said, but you don’t understand. I reassured him once again we would be back tomorrow. The following day we did return to the Magic Kingdom and he proposed on my favorite ride.

There are a few of these that i remember very clearly and which I felt impacted by at some level. Chernobyl, when I was 14, was terrifying - I remember watching the news when word started to get out and then listening to more new on the radio when i went to bed. The fall of the Berlin Wall and Mandela being freed both sit in a similar space in my mind - there were a few years where things seemed, from my ltd perspective to all being going in the right direction. It was thrilling seeing the reports of people clambering on the wall, and taking sledge hammers to it - felt like I was watching the world change. The Death of Diana got me - and I would never have thought such a thing would. I wasn't then and still am not particularly interested or invested in the monarchy, but there was something strangely moving about the outpouring of grief from all quarters, and it did seem to feel like we had lost something as a nation - and just at an individual level, it was tragic to see the two boys lose their mother. It was a strange time that. I don't think anything I've seen before or since had as much impact on me as 9/11. I heard about it first of all from an online friend who lived in the US - when he initially said they'd been an attack on the world trade centre i was thinking he meant some fairly limited but disturbing act of terrorism like we'd all seen or heard of before, but then when I turned on the TV and saw it unfolding.... two decades later and I still feel a little bit traumatised by it, even though I was all the way over here in the UK and not directly connected to anybody there or affected by any of it. It still plays on my mind from time to time, the horror of it.

The events that shook my early years were the death of Princess Diana, and the mass shooting at Columbine High School. My dad is English, and that morning as I was waking up for school, he and my mom were sitting silently watching the news which was something they rarely did. One of the few times I've seen him cry, I never knew how much he cared about her or the royals. And the day of the Columbine shooting was awful too, because all of our teachers were totally distraught, something that was really unsettling to witness as a 12 year old, because again, you don't see your authority figures emotional very often. They carried on with their lesson plans, but everyone was pretty fragile that day. 9/11 was a blur - students running through the halls that morning, teachers huddled in the staff room discussing a course of action, every screen in the school tuned into the live feed of what was going on. Fortunately, the staff had the sensitivity to keep the tvs off until after the towers came down, but we were all glued to the aftermath in my afternoon classes. Same when I got home, my parents were ashen when I got in. We knew people who lived in downtown Manhattan, and a couple of my friends had family members who worked in the World Trade Center who died that day. It was horrifying and you felt totally helpless.

I was 4 years when 9/11 happened and to this day, 25 now, I can still remember what me and my siblings had to go through. So, I was in daycare while both my older brother and older sister, who was 6 and 8 at the time, were released from school which was right next door, early like around 1pm, and all three of us were waiting in the lobby where my dad comes in to take us to my grandma's house since me, my siblings, and my mom were living with her at the time and we lived closed by from the daycare and school. To put in perspective, the daycare and school are right next to the Brooklyn navy yard which means it was close to the world trade center across the water so all of that dust would make it hitting both buildings and covered us in that toxic dust. So, my dad took us home where my grandma was waiting and he had to leave to check on his other family (my mom and dad never married) and no one explained to us what was happening until I saw the second tower get hit on the news and watched the first tower fall that was my introduction to death and hate. Once I saw that, I started thinking 'where's mom?' 'Did she make it out of Manhattan?' Is she still at work?' Until the phone rang and my mom, who works in New Jersey, called telling us that she can't make it home for a few days because Manhattan and all subways to Manhattan along with the ferry from Jersey to New York due to the attack. That day was the day I lost my innocence to the world and I wasn't even supposed to know what death is until I got older, I can still seeing and watching on my TV people jumping out of the tower knowing they were going ro die no matter what or how they knew they were not going to survive. Even now as an adult, I have never stepped foot near the world trade center and the memorial due to seeing those traumatic images and videos/records over and over again. And as I look out my window to see Manhattan and the empire state building, I know two buildings should be there a little bit next to it but it's not anymore

Here in India, 2nd wave of Delta variant snatched away many lives. I can never forget lack of oxygen and hospital supplies killing people on roads. River basins were filled with dead bodies because there wasn't enough space for cremation. Those who stayed at home were anxious and tensed for their loved ones. WhatsApp groups were made asking for plasma, oxygen cylinders, remdsivir, steroids and amphotericin. It was so bad that i had to stop watching news for my own sanity.

I was asleep on 1/6 (thank god) due to a 3rd shift job. I was not surprised after all the violence and insanity of 2020. 9/11 I was in 7th grade. I just remember being in math when someone came in to tell the teacher to turn on the TV. My airheaded ass still couldn't comprehend that kind of trauma or the magnitude of how the world would change.

I honestly expected some of these to be higher but as someone who has a traumatic experience with the 9/11 attacks I can say that it deserves to be that high. if you are curious about what happened. Picture a kid in 4th grade who gets educated on those events and shone the death toll and the only thing you can hear is your other classmates laughing like it’s a joke when you’re witnessing people die. Yeah that’s a good way to ruin a kids innocence. Also for the Record I have had a history of abuse at a young age so PTSD did play a part but after that experience through the rest of school I’d always take that day off because I didn’t want to relive those memories. Almost cried when I saw number 2 but if you bothered to read all this, then props to you, you get a gold ⭐️

I start with the moon landing, but I fully appreciate the love and desire to study and get a greater understanding about these and other events. That lightbulb moment for me was when I watched “All The President’s Men.” Watergate was all over the tv when I was very youn, but I had no understanding. When I saw that movie, I thought “ Wow, so that’s what Nixon did!” Then I started looking for books and movies about other events in the past.

I was in school (either 2nd or 3rd grade, can't remember) when our principle went over the PA and said 'teachers, please turn on all tv's to channel 10. What is happening must be seen, so that children will be ready when they head home.' The time we had it turned on, the second tower was struck. i remember our teacher briefly fainting, kids once rowdy suddenly going silent. the remainder of the school day was spent with our teachers comforting us, telling us what had happened and where, and when i went home i hugged my mom. 9/11 is something schools in our area still teach on the day every year. its affected everyone, and still does. RIP to all who lost their lives, and a thank you to all the first responders.

For me, it’ll always be the parkland school shooting. That day was neverending. I heard about it during the school day in junior high. And when I got home I saw the carnage on the tv my grandpa was watching. It was so heartbreaking to see it unfold the way it did, those kids were only 2-5 years older than me. Time stood still. I watched it all happen in a tv for 4 hours and didn’t know four hours went by. I can only imagine how the victims themselves feel about that day.

It wasn’t really a a “moment”, and it’s not even the most consequential or sudden economic collapse of the last century. Let’s face it, in and after 2008 people were still buying iPhones and BMW’s, they just walked away from upside down homes because they thought of their home as their entire retirement nest egg instead their home as a home. Meanwhile the crash in 1929 happened in large part in a single day, and was followed by people lining up at soup kitchens for the following decade which was referred to as “the Great Depression” and only ended due to the single largest conflict in human history. The 2008 financial crisis was largely investment banks going under, meaning that while affected, 97% of the population didn’t lose a single dollar during 2008.

You switched the order of the bombs being dropped. Since the Bomb known as Little Boy was based on a gun-type concept, its design did not need prior testing, where instead the one known as Fat Man was based on the new concept of implosion. When the trinity test had eventually demonstrated its functionality, the gun-type bomb was already on its way to Tinian, where the B-29 squadron that was to deliver the bombs was stationed.

This might not be a big deal to most folks, but when Dr. Jeffrey Weigand blew the whistle on Big Tobacco, it changed the way smoking is perceived and banning indoor smoking everywhere in the US. I salute him for this bravery for standing up to the truth and not caving in to pressure from those who threatened to harm him. Then a few years later the flight attendants' union members complained about second-hand smoke on aircraft, alerting us to the dangers of second-hand smoke. Too bad these news items were not nearly as gripping.

I broke the news about a terrorist attack to fellow students and 1 teacher. And everyone looked at me in shock. Thinking I would talk about the weather, and instead hearing that come out of my mouth.
