What good or bad, major historic event did you witness or observe the reports for as a kid?

Being that I still had lots of family in Mexico at the time, I couldn't help but observe the news reports about the 1985 Mexico City earthquake.

As far as the events themselves as a kid, the Bakersfield and Tehachapi earthquakes. As far as news reports as a kid, Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, FDR's death just for starters. Don't ask when it comes to adulthood -- just got worse.
