Where Were You?

1. When John F. Kennedy was shot (November 22, 1963) Not Born yet

2. When Mt. St. Helens blew (May 18, 1980) I was not quite 3, so probably nap or something

3. When the space shuttle Challenger exploded (January 28, 1986) In third grade watching it on the school TV. I was 8

4. When the 7.1 earthquake hit San Francisco (October 17, 1989) I was 11 years old. I vaguely remember watching the news and back then and still now I am quite terrified of natural disasters. This probably didn’t help much.

5. When the Berlin Wall fell (November 9, 1989) I was still 11 years old and in school. We talked about it the next day watching the news in the classroom.
