re: What’s the first memory you have of a major news story?

We can guess everyone’s age + 5 yrs by the answers given.

Not necessarily. I have memories going back to the age of 2 years. Most importantly, people of my age were not assaulted by all the video imagery 24/7. When I was a little kid, the cinema with concomitant, brief newsreels had a tremendous impact on a child. TV only became ubiquitous in the mid to late1950s. So, you can’t really judge a person’s age by the age of the remembered news event plus 5 years. Just splitting hairs.
