Alan Shepherd, first US astronaut to orbit the earth. We watched it on a closed-circuit TV in elementary school.

I remember when President Reagan was shot. I was in kindergarten. I ran out of the living room where I was watching cartoons to tell my mom in the kitchen that the president has been shot.
She was pissed they interrupted children’s cartoons with such morbid news

Challenger. I was 5, in Kindergarten. Watched it live. It was heavily viewed in school due to the teacher on board. I guess the rest of the teachers were excited, one of them was finally doing something cool.

I remember watching a state funeral procession on my grandparents’ TV when I was very young, and it was probably J. Edgar Hoover’s in May 1972.
My 4th birthday was a couple months after that.

That was the Rault Center fire in 1972. Several women jumped from the window of a beauty parlor on the upper floors and only one survived the fall.
Damn, that was it. The scene of those people jumping has never left me.
