a) JFK was shot
Waiting to be born.... about 2 years later!
b) Apollo 11 landed on the moon
Watching it on television in my living room. I was about 4 and the clearest thing I remember about it was my father feelings that this was REALLY important. It started a long love of space, and space travel. I still try to tune in whenever there's a launching (and lets hope we get back to it soon, and safely)
c) John Lennon was shot
Sleeping. I had fallen asleep with the radio on and when I woke up I actually thought I'd dreamt it. Wasn't too long before the DJ set me right.
d) the Berlin Wall fell
Working. Watched the clips when I got home.
e) the 9/11 attacks occurred
Working. I had just gotten into work, turned on the radio and within about 2 minutes the host (I primarily listen to NPR) broke from format to announce what had just happened. They were calling it an accident at that point, but just a few minutes later, with the second hit, we all knew what was up.
