I suppose for me it would have to be the Twin Towers as I saw the second plane go into the other tower via the tv Sky US News link, as I was watching it live.
Horrible horrible day.

Echo that - shocking, absolutely shocking day
 
I'm With Stupid said:
When Princess Diana died, I was staying at my grandma's and I'd just finished my paper round and wanted to watch some kids TV. The TV was full of it, so I put my Beavis and Butthead video on. When my grandma got up, I told her Diana had died, and for about 30 minutes, she assumed I was talking about some stupid Beavis and Butthead plot. When she realised it was real, she made me turn it off so she could watch the news. Boooo.

I remember hearing about Diana on the radio when I was going to visit my mum & nan, When I got there they had no idea so I just remember saying something like
"That posh woman who is always on holiday & is having it off with that harrods blokes son, you know she used to be married to old jug ears has died"
looking back probably not the most sympathetic way to break the news but I never really got the competitive mourning that broke out after her death?
