The first world shattering news event you remember.

I was only about 8 at the time so the first JFK sort of moment for me was 9/11, too young to remember Diana dying or owt

I can remember where i was for both the IRA bomb in Town and Princess Diana's death.

Maggie Thatcher declaring war on the Argies over the Falklands followed by the challenger disaster. Was working in a night club for both Diana and 9/11 got woke up with the news by my mum

I remember waking up for school and my Mum telling me John Lennon had been shot. It stunned me completely.

 

[LongLang]

i remember my mum coming waking me up to tell me diana was dead.
i said "fuck off mum its four in the morning"

The only other landmark worth noting is signing Robbie, i was at work shaking like a shitting dog glued to sky sports news.

I really don't recall anything shocking until 9/11. Was pulled out of school etc. and couldn't believe what I saw on tv.
