Columbia - I was watching <i>Donnie Darko</i> on HBO for about the 20th time, when I just suddenly realized I couldn't devote another 90 minutes of my life to watching it, and switched to CNN (right when the engine was falling on the house - spooky).
O.J. - vacationing in Hawaii - didn't let it become a big deal for the first week or so.
Challenger - was sleeping in; had my alarm set to music, so I kind of heard the news semi-awake, then bolted up in bed.
Columbine - was web-surfing CNN at work when the news came in.
9/11 - was standing in the bedroom getting dressed for work when they broke the news on <i>The Today Show</i>.
Moon Landing - the whole family was crowded around the TV in anticipation.
JFK assasination - all the teachers were called to the office, and 5 minutes later ours came back and explained it all to us - I remember she was crying. Then, as soon as the buses could get there, we were all sent home. It was the only thing on TV all weekend.
