Def the Twin Towers - I was in Lanzarote at the time with the misses - we were walking down the strip of Porta dela  carman and there were pictures everywhere on the TVs in the shops, so went into a bar and asked the barman what had happened - thats when he said.
Cardiff airport was a different place when we got back to when we left 2 weeks earier.

The spookiest thing has just happened and left a tingle!

I submitted my vote for Diana and a second after pressing the submit button, a picture of Diana's coffin on the cart appeared on the TV screen.

It appears on channel 4+1 there is some documentry about Dodi but it just spooked me and the better half out! Shocked

Has to be Di for me [and I'm basicly a Republican] Simply because the Americans made so much fuss, about the first major bombing on their own soil, [ yeah I know it was damn awful] and yet funded the IRA when they were Bombing London and it hardly got in the papers in the States. I was less than 1/4 af a mile away when the Bishopsgate bomb went off. West Side of Liverpool St. Station.

Boxing Day Tsunami for me, although I remember watching the Shuttle launch in my maths class at school, we were all over excited and then sat there and watched it explode, there was dead silence and then lots of tears, my maths tutor was fantastic, how he managed to comfort a group of 25 kids calmly I really don't know.

Princess Diana for me as the most poinant, although all along with others are very memorable sadly.

Only recall this one more so as not only living very close to Buckingham & Kensington Palace, I recall the sight (and fragrance) of the immense floral tributes laid at that time, but she was truly a remarkable person and figure in the world, and even now she has passed, still has a lasting legacy that goes on in her own right and that of her children.

Twin towers . Just got back from the doing the final paperwork for my Divorce. Had mates working in there ! Spent a long time on the phone making sure they were ok . Which they were. I had also walked past them with my sons two weeks before. Have photos of the towers taken from the empire state building.

I would also add  to this list the first man on the moon.
Watched it at school on a big pull down screen with the rest of the school .
So much hope that the world was moving forward due to this event.  Me thinks something has gone a little wrong.
