  1. I'm 61 and saw a fair few of these happen. I took a world geography course at a local college in the mid 2000s, and there was a picture of people running from the killing waves in my textbook.

  2. These are all horrible but why do so many ignore all the poor innocent on 9/11 that jumped to their deaths. It was horrific to watch and hear but it's part of the horror. It must be known

  3. 1st thing: The crash that killed Dale Earnhardt was not a head on crash. His car made contact with the one next to him and just the right front hit the wall, and what killed him was the whiplash from being jerked so hard to the right on impact.
    2nd thing: The ATF did not show up to Waco wirh an arrest warrant. It was a search warrant to look for evidence of fully automatic weapons and possible child abuse. While koresh was outside talking to them someone started shooting and everything went wrong. ATF claimed the branch davidians fired first, while the branch davidians claim ATF started shooting their dogs and they fired back

  4. Born in N.Y.C. in 1953, I was an adult when these things happened. Watched all from this video that occurred on U.S. soil, most on live T.V. Wow ! From this moment on I hope all on T.V. will be good, happy things !

  5. Senna was killed by the Williams F1 team. Challenger 7 astronauts never died and 9/11 was the biggest attack by the American government on its own people Bush and Blair are murderers

  6. I watched Dale Earnhardt's crash on live TV. Looked like a typical Nascar crash to me. I went about my business afterward, and it was hours later before I learned he had passed. I don't even remember who won that day. I wasn't an Earnhardt fan, but it was devastating knowing I watched him die, and didn't give it a second thought.

  7. I watched a few of these live when I was growing up, but the one that sticks out the most, of course, is 9/11. I woke up that morning and the Tv was on. The Tv was NEVER on in the morning during the week because that was the time for getting ready to go to school. Despite all four family members being distracted by the news, we still all somehow got out of the house on time. I remember throughout the entire day, people would constantly be looking up at the sky between passing periods…and we were on the opposite side of the country.

  8. Oh, I remember 9/11. Waking up and seeing the first tower on fire, then learning "Oh, wait, a second one." Then, everything just going to hell.

    Allison Parker and Adam Ward, I remember all the videos that littered YouTube of the shooting, everyone playing internet detective in trying to figure out what happened and who attacked them.

  9. 9/11 I was at college and we all rushed to student center when a student ran into class yelling, "We're under attack". It was so horrible for days it felt like you couldn't breathe.
