I was working at the mall when his daughter was shot. A coworker was sitting next to them when it happened. Pretty unthinkable back then.

This is a little different and random from what has been listed, but there used to be a tiger at the Baton Rouge Zoo back in the early 80s that used to try and pee on people that strolled by its cage. Crowds of people used to sit and watch this.
