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?

I found out the space shuttle blew up when my roommates and I returned to the barracks and turned on the TV. We were all late getting back from lunch.
I was in bed and my mom woke me up to tell me John Lennon had been shot. He was pronounced dead by the time I got to the TV.
Shannon Hoon OD'ed on the tour bus a few hours before Blind Melon was supposed to play in New Orleans. A friend's band was called at the last minute to play so that the fans wouldn't have to go home empty handed so to speak. I found out from them.
I found out I lost my virginity while I was fucking.

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.

I forgot about that one I was in a bad car wreck that night. My roommate(same fishing buddy....) was driving and we hit a telephone poll doing like 60 +. Fucked me up pretty good.

i was in high school electronics shop class when the shuttle blew...rest of the day, nothing but tv in all my classes.
on 9/11, i was in bed when my father, reactionary that he is, called and literally said, "we're at war!" like the rest of the country, spent the day in front of the tv.
found out my ex was pregnant with my son while at work. i was driving a forklift inside a giant freezer. i sat down on a frozen bucket of pickles for the next 30 minutes.
