People say you remember what you was doing or where you when iconic events happened?...

9/11?

7/7?

Hillsborough disaster?

Pricness Diana death?

All very sad, but seems one to spring to mind.

I remember where I were and what I was doing for all of them.

I was at my grandparents house. I'd been to Lifeboys (now known as the Junior Section of the Boys' Brigade) and our routine was to visit Dad's parents for an hour afterwards.
I didn't take in the significance of the event until some years later.

I was playing a Snooker tournament at my dad's club the day Diana died and I remember the TV being left on the news most of the day.


9/11 I was in the Navy then and was based in Portsmouth at the time. I watched in disbelief through the afternoon at the senior rates mess at HMS Nelson.

Remember em all.

I'd guess Michael Jackson snuffing it is one most people remember too (Someone told me in the chatbox of PokerStars).

Yeah sadly all future 'remember where you where' scenarios will be 'I was sat browsing the interweb on my phone' for 99% of the population.

Probably reckon now that most major events will be found out this way now.  9/11 was off from school after an operation and having some physio.  7/7 I was playing a SnG on Party.  Diana was going to a family birthday party and found out listening to the radio in a pretty sweet Sierra Cosworth.

I was living in San Fransisco when 9/11 occurred. Never ever seen so many paranoid, stressed people in my life the following months.  No one would go over the bridges to travel, no one would get in a taxi with anyone who looked Asian, sales of guns when up and the ferry service across the bay went up 4000%.

Diana: family holiday in Norfolk.

9/11 trading at work, it went ballistic, really high octane stuff. Portfolios lost millions

7/7 can't remember

Hillsborough: standing on the away end at Craven Cottage for Fulham v Bolton in Div 4. Housemate at Uni was a massive Bolton fan and we were on a 21st birthday bender weekend in the smoke

9/11 was at a new clients for first day but could only see out of one eye as had a cut/swelling on my eye from playing rugby a few days earlier. Remember the sketchy reports coming through and then getting the full story when i got home. Was flying to Oz on 11/11 so that was a longer plane journey than originally scheduled

Hillsborough - was only a kid but remember sat on floor at home watching Grandstand waiting for match to start

others no idea, probably pissed.

9/11 sitting at a desk in the footy dept at Hills and just sat in silence watching everything unfold.

7/7 I was in LV and woke up late in the day to find a load of voicemail messages and texts telling me what had happened.

Hillsborough, I was in Sheffield tho not at the game, a truly terrible day in my life.

Princess Diana, I had just done it all in at Owlerton dogs and then walked home in the pouring rain, switched the TV on and went to tell my parents, we sat  around to watch the coverage together.
