a) JFK was shot
wasn't born yet

b) Apollo 11 landed on the moon
I was in utero

c) John Lennon was shot
I was in 7th grade, maybe 6th. I remember there was one girl in my class that wore black for the rest of high school after that. I thought it was weird then and still think it's weird now. She didn't go goth, goth wasn't the thing then, wasn't even A thing then.

d) the Berlin Wall fell
In college; we knew it was going to happen about a year before. No one knew it was going to be such a huge event like it was. Seeing the images on TV of it being torn down was great.

e) the 9/11 attacks occurred
At my desk at work talking to a friend of mine on IM who was talking to his sister on the phone who lived just a few blocks away. We couldn't get any feeds on the internet so we went next door to the gas station where they have tv's mounted on the wall. We stood there in awe at the whole scene unfolding. I had a friend working in the Gannett towers in Arlington, VA that overlook the Pentagon and I talked to him as he was evactuating the towers. It was one of the most surreal things I have ever experienced.
