I was talking with some old folks the other day and they were telling me where they were when they found out Kennedy died.
This got me thinking, other than 9/11, what are the moments we all remember where we were?
I can remember where I was when I found out Cobain died. (In my bedroom home sick from school.
I can remember where I was when Dimebag Darrell died. (In best buy, looking at new cameras)
So, I'm curious, what are all of your "I remember where I was" moments?

That's funny because I remember the day Reagan got shot as well. I was skipping class in college and my roommate and I went fishing at this pond and got caught fishing without a liscense! I still remember hearing the radio talking about it as the game and fish guy wrote me a ticket!!!!
Things of an eventful nature happened to me on assassination days.
When Bobby Kennedy got shot, I was a kid and broke a front tooth while learning to juggle(with croquet balls )
When Menachem Begin, the premier of Israel got shot, I was boffing my wife on our wedding night!!!! I remember that one well!
When Princess Diana died I was at my Mums flat and I went to wake her up because it was on every channel and my cartoons were all cancelled. I was pretty pissed off. My Mum took the opportunity to make it clear Diana's death was worse.
The British press have made a point of never letting anyone forget either, its fucking ridiculous.

Wow I do remember where I was for Princess Diana, it was like 2 A.M. and me and my friends just got done watching this hilarious new movie that just came out on VHS called "Austin Powers" haha then we turned on the regular TV and it was all over the news.
When Anna Nicole Smith died, I was working at a radio station as the afternoon drive DJ and I had to break the news live on-air. I really had no special place in my heart for Anna but it was very hard to do for some reason

Subtract the friends and change the movie to Scream maybe and this is me when Diana died.
I was only 10 when the Challenger blew up so I was in school.
On 9/11 I was in bed asleep. I was pregnant but did not know. I was dreaming I was in a beach house and an army of small planes were overhead...not odd since we lived in the flight path of a small county airport. I always slept with CNN's headline news on. Woke up just in time to see some of the first recaps of the first plane hitting the towers, called BC in shock and as we spoke watched a second plane.
Scary thing is I'd almost gotten my mom who was coming to visit us, to fly. Thankfully she had rented a car. Not that she'd have been on one of the planes, but just that it'd been hard to get her here then.
