Beg to differ, pal. People really were walking around dazed in the aftermath. People Jerry's age most definitely remember where they were when it happened.


Is MNF how most people found out? Honest question.

rearadmiral's citation of someone else wrote: Why do we support their economy? Never understood it.


Because they make the best cars.

Getting from point A to point B > national pride

And most of them are assembled by Americans anyway.

Challenger def over Nancy Kerrigan

No way Nancy was America's Sweetheart and she was destined for gold at Lillehammer.

Challenger was just a space ship.

challenger = 3rd grade classroom
9/11 = working on building a parking garage for Astra Zaneca in Waltham and a fellow laborer had a radio. Local 560 4eva.
OJ Chase = friends house watching NBA finals
OJ Verdict = science class in high school
Magic Johnson = no clue where I was, probably middle school

Absolutely. Or in the immediate word-of-mouth. Cosell broke story to public (assist: Gifford). Watch link I posted for great take on whole thing.

MNF and Lennon murder are linked forever.
