Probably 9/11.
-
9/11 as well i was shocked
-
Princess Diana's death and funeral and 9/11
-
Certainly 9/11, especially the coverage from Manhattan. Seeing the replays of the planes striking the towers, of the people jumping, of the buildings falling. Of the people running. Realizing that I had been there only eight days earlier. Realizing that America would soon be going to war. Realizing that the Empire State Building was once again, the tallest building in New York.
-
Dianas' death, 9/11, and the the Mary Rose being bought up from the sea bed.
-
9/11 and the death of Diana
-
For me it was a horrible story about a friend. I've never watched or listened to the news since and I never will.
-
9/11. I cannot watch the replays. I still cry, and I am Australian.
-
The most disturbing was, without a doubt, 911. Seeing all those people jumping from the roof was scary!
-
That's got to be 9/11
-
9/11, I remember exactly how I first found out, exactly what everyone said, what happened, etc. A day I'll never forget.
-
September 11, 2001. I was glued to CNN and a few other tv stations from 10:15 (I had been out on errands since 8:00) until almost midnight. I have a friend that was a New York City police officer back then and his beat was in that vacinity. Luckily, he had a dentist appointment that morning.
-
Hurricane Katrina. I couldn't believe that there were people dying and no one was doing anything about it - 9/11 was bad, but at least there was a response. It took what, three or four days after Katrina hit to see anything happen in the way of rescue. I couldn't get over the fact that news trucks made it down there but rescue workers and food and water took so damn long...
-
Wow...nearly everyone said 9/11. Kinda figured that would happen. I was unable to watch that because I was in basic training at the time of 9/11. No TV. No newspaper. No clue what was going on. It sucked. So for me, I think it was the verdict of the OJ Simpson trial. They stopped class in school and everyone turned on the TV to watch the verdict.
-
9/11 without a doubt. Though for the first few hours of it I didn't need to watch the news I got to watch all the action from my office window. I remember when they finally let us all go home around 1pm. I was so scared. Fortunately I got a ride from my job in Queens part of the way home in Brooklyn. I still had to take 2 buses to get home. I remember worrying about whether or not there were going to be terrorists on the buses tryin g to blow them up like is routine in Israel.
-
O J Simpson rolling down the highway, A man in vegas on the highway pulled over suddenly and doused himself with gas and lit himself on fire,Rodney king Pres.reagan getting shot at.9-11 of course.. the day they found the titanic,the one that always astounded me was man stepping on the moon.
-
Well, although the events of 9/11/01 were horrific, I didn't see anything on the news until that night because I was held at a convention center working a trade show all day that no one could travel to in PA. I listened to the sober voice of Howard Stern over a radio all day and then some other broadcasters. When I was a kid, I think I saw Ronald Regan get shot about 400 times during the coverage. That John Hinkley Jr. shooting at Ronnie was etched in my mind.
-
9/11. I remember thinking this has got to be an accident! Then I saw the second plane hit, as it was happening. I was scheduled for an ultrasound that day. I will always remember that day, for seeing thousands of people die, and seeing my daughter for the first time.
-
9/11 of course. Two other images have stayed with me since I was a kid - a bloody soldier on a stretcher in Viet Nam and the heartbreaking sight of the last American plane to leave Saigon with parents thrusting their children on the plane knowing full well they would never see them again and people desperately hanging onto any part of the plane then falling back to Earth as the plane took off.
-
When Steve Irwin died. I was pretty bummed out that day
-
september 11th and princess dianas death. both very sad occassions.
-
For me it was while I was in the Army and we were sitting around watching tv and saw that Noriega declared a state of war with the US. Being a 72 hour deployable unit, it wasn't an hour later that our unit went on alert and then not long after we were on our way to Panama. I just remember how we all went from happy and relaxed to flying off to fight in an instant. I barely had time to call my dad and let him know.
-
9/11 - Definitely 9/11 - I was glued to the TV for two weeks just unable to believe that such a thing could happen in America.
-
I know everyone else said it already but it was 9-11 with no near second place contenders.
-
The news that Princess Diana die! That sadness will stick with me for the rest of my life. I remember my mother coming in my room yelling "They killed her they killed her"
-
Its got to be 9/11 its the sort of thing you dont want to see but you were transfixed to the tv in disbelief.For myself its also seeing freddie mercury had died of aids as i have been a lifelong fan.
-
when i was living in spain during the 90's i remember quite vividly the war between algiers and france and the images of slain bodies those of women and especially children laying on the ground lifeless. it was truly horrific this is when i first became conscious of how much the United States media manipulated the news and really didn't show what was happening in the world.
-
9/11 Being in the UK, it fltered across to us in bits. My boyfriend came into work and told me, and I though it was a joke. Then a guy at the next desk got told by the cutomer he was talking to. I remember being at home that evening, watching the footage on TV and thinking how it was like watching clips from an action film. It took a few days to sink in
-
Got to be 9/11 man
-
hey sweet cakes i'm here finally, register took longer as a cheeseburger from mcdonalds...*#@$ long time! lol
-
9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Also seeing Neil Armstrong step onto the moon.
-
in school we saw the space shuttle blow up...with a teacher on there... then 9/11
-
Sitting in my recliner when they announced Saddam Hussein had been executed. That beat out 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and dozens of other things that I should remember better.
-
my most memorable moment i watched, honestly, was princess diana's wedding and then (years later) her funeral.
-
My top three have to be the LA riots after the cops who beat Rodney King were not all convicted, OJ Simpson being driven in the Ford Bronco and September 11th.
-
Most definitely the attacks on American soil on 9/11 of 2001. I for one will truly never EVER forget, I happened to be home and had the news on as it was ALL unfolding.
-
When the space shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986 right there on the tv...it was really sad.☻
-
Until Sept 11, I would have said the moon landing or the Watts riots many years ago. But what can I say? I still have horrors about that morning, turning on the TV and seeing a small 'fire' in the one tower and hearing Matt and Katie talking about it and then, then the other tower was hit and my day, my life was never the same:-(
-
Saddam's necktie party
-
The JFK assassination
-
9-11 the suttle exploding
-
G'day Thank you for your question, It would be the moon landing and September 11. Regards
-
9-11 And also this really creepy story I remember where this lady stayed on her couch for like a year and her skin fused with the material...it was disturbing. And still brings up questions about how she survived that long.
-
The first manned moon landing ...
-
Orson Wells' war of the worlds
-
The most memorable news for me was the September 11 bombing.. that was the most awful and gross thing I have ever watched in a television.. though I didn't see it in person, it made me feel lonely and cry for those people who died in a very tragic death.. it was the most hopeless scenario..
-
The terrorist attacks of 9/11, far and away.
-
9/11. I was gripped,as was everyone.Thats a once in a lifetime news event.
-
Other than 9/11, I'd have to say the Kennedy Assasination and seeing Lee Harvey Oswald getting shot by Jack Ruby on live tv. I was a kid and I totally freaked out. It was like a 1,2 punch.
-
Walter Winchell ...JFK assassination
-
the 2005 X-mas tsnami was just horrible! i watched and i cried at the loss and the inability to help the people in the water! the footage of the vietnames man being shot in the head! he is tied up and the guard just puts the gun to his head and just like that!! kills him dead! the school in russia were all of the kids were kept hostage for 3 days by the rebels!
-
The 9/11 when i see it on foxnews
-
No doubt it was 9/11. I don't think there is a single person that doesn't remember where they were at or what they were doing the minute they heard about it. And everyone called to check on their loved ones, just to make sure they were ok. The second most memorable would have to be the bridge collapse in MN just because it was so close to home and I have so many relatives that live in that area that traveled that bridge almost every day.
-
Definitely 9/11
-
Sept 11:(
-
9/11, nothing has ever come close to it.
-
For me, the famine in Ethiopia in the 80's, the Space shuttle Challlenger explosion, the death of Princess Diana, and the terrorist attacks, when 2 aircraft crashed into the World Trade Centre on September 11th, 2001.
-
9/11
-
9/11...without a doubt.

The Oklahoma City bombing. 4/19/1995. The same day my dad died.

9/11 for sure. When shock & awe was unleashed. . .well, not easy to forget.
-
Princess Diana's death and september the 11th.
-
When the twin towers got bombed, on September 11

The Harrods bomb in London in 1980's by the I.R.A. and the iranian embassy siege in London and the storming by the S.A.S. as well as the iranian takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1978. But the one that tops it for me is the refugee camp massacres Sabra and Shatilla by the Christian militia in Beirut in 1985 , I was a journalist reporting on it,at the time.
-
<<That would be a few,,,First was John Kennedy being shot,(I was 4 and still remenber that ) and when the Challenger Blew up,,also 911 WHICH has got to be the worse feeling of all because I lost someone that day.

Princess Diana's death when I was 7, and September 11th
-
The Bombing of The USS Cole. My Husband was in the Navy at the time, and out to sea, near Yemen. When I heard that a ship had been bombed, the only thought in my head was that it was his ship. I soon found out, by watching television, that it was the USS Cole. I was terrified for my husband, and also terrified for a close friend of our that was on the USS Cole. I watched the News day and night until I finally heard that our friend hads died on the USS Cole. My husband and I were devistated over the news. My husband suffers from Post Tramatic Stress Disorder or PTSD form the Bombing. We Will nver forget our friend, and all the GREAT MEAN & WOMAN WHO SERVED ON THE USS COLE!!

9/11 had to be the most memorable and the most horrific. I watched it while it happened, I was at work. It was unreal, everyone was terrified, it was so quite all day. I worked in our school. All TVs were turned off in the classrooms, but the sight of those planes with those poor helpless people will be burned in our hearts forever

The most recent was 911. Before that it was the death of Princess Diana (I am English), and, showing my age, before that it was the assassination of Kennedy, when the announcer was barely containing his tears.
-
The most memorable one to me was when the Berlin Wall came down. I was just a child and I will never forget it. Now I realize the impact it had but then I was just happy to see the people on the news so happy.
