September 11 is my birthday and I was taking the day off on the morning of the attacks. I woke up and came downstairs and my mum said in sort of a distracted way 'happy birthday, come see this.' I watched the second plane hit and both towers collapse.
One that hasn't been mentioned yet (maybe I'm the only former grunge rocker around), I was in the car with my family when the radio DJ announced that Kurt Cobain had been found dead. That had a much larger impact on me than anything OJ ever did.
