I was at my condo studying. I happened to check my e-mail and click on Foxnews.com, and I saw the headline.
2. Where were you on September 11, 2001?
I was in the reading room of the library at my law school. Someone came to get me and brought me in one of the classrooms. They had pulled down all the screens in the room and were broadcasting CNN live. I walked in the room as the first tower fell.
3. Where were you when you heard that Princess Diana died?
I was a freshman in college. A group of us gals had gone to Wabash for a party and when I got home, my roommate was up watching the news and told me.
4. Do you remember where you were when you heard Kurt Cobain had died?
Nope. Guess that wasn't too significant to me.

Pina Colada Jelly Bellys.

Don't remember.
8. Where were you when the Challenger exploded?
I was in the cafeteria of my elementary school watching it live.
9. Where were you when the 0J verdict was announced?
I was in AP Calculus class. My teacher had the TV on mute so we could still learn while waiting for the jury to come back. When we saw them return, we held our breath and after they announced it almost everyone in the room went, "WHAT???"
