Not sure if my post was whacked or I didn't hit submit.
Admins I apologize if this was whacked for a reason.

Paging Jody Plauche.

March 1984, Jeff Doucet being executed in the Baton Rouge(Ryan) airport on Live TV.

That's my mom's most indelible memory by far. She was in high school at the time. She's casually told us(her kids) and the grand kids about it many times in detail. We kind of blew it off for years but as an adult I now realize that she suffered PTSD from those tense days at school and at home. I try to imagine how traumatizing that must have been for a teenager in English class trying to learn about literature while the principal was constantly tuned into the radio for news that a nuclear missile was en route to Louisiana.
Truly crazy to think about in today's society.

Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, and the Kent State shooting.

I remember Hurricane Betsy, but not as a news story.

I had to look it up and I don't know if this would be considered a major news story but it was between the challenger explosion on that little girl getting stuck in a well.. But the challenger happened first. That was in 1986 and I was in 2nd grade.

I do remember an eclipse happening when I was in kindergarten but not sure if that's a major news story.
