Seems like everything I have ever seen on TV was when I was in front of a TV.

We used it as an excuse to call people over and get wild

OJ I don’t remember. I remember more of the trial.
Same with OKC
Lewinsky I remember. It was going into my sr year of HS. We would hang out at different peoples houses. We were at this girls house in their converted garage. Her dad had a sweet pool table. We were playing pool and had it on the TV.
McGwire I was at my best friends house down the street. His dad was grilling burgers.
9-11 I was in college. Got up that morning for my finance class and for some reason didn’t turn the TV on. Professor gave us our normal quiz. He apparently didn’t know either. Class was buzzing when I walked in which was very odd for an 8:30 finance class. Most of our professors that day took roll and dismissed us. I went back to my girlfriends apartment. We watched news all day. My stats professor that afternoon gave us our scheduled test. Everyone was mad. Classes were cancelled the rest of the week.
Bombs being dropped I was at work. We had a shitty little TV and had it on the news.
Don’t remember the statue toppled live.
Katrina I was in Birmingham. I saw the radar the day before and knew it was going to be horrible.
Obama don’t care.
Bin laden was near my birthday. We were in destin and had been fishing.

True story - my girlfriend and I were lounging in bed watching TV just after having done the deed ourselves.

I was working in DC at the time, and a bunch of us rode our bikes down the the White House. I still have pictures and videos of that night. There must have been thousands of people chanting USA USA USA. There were several celebrities down there mingling with the crowd. It is one of my fondest memories.

9/11 - sleeping in an apartment on Nicholson, accounting class was dismissed early later that day.
Katrina and Rita a month later - Was in BR for both. Crazy times. I had strangers living in my unused apartment for 3 months, they lost everything in NOLA.

I honestly don’t remember where I was for any of this crap.
I don’t base my life on news events that don’t effect me.

I remember both of those events, but I also remember when we dropped the Atomic Bomb on Japan. I was four years old sitting at the kitchen table with my Grandpa listening to the radio.
