What's the first major news story you can remember living through as a child?

@Allelse I remember the first one. It was such a naïve kid, I bought into all the pro war propaganda. I even had a poster of Saddam Hussein drawn as a snake that said, "He'll never slither out of this."

Looking back on it now, there's just so much I didn't know and wouldn't have grasped if someone had told me.

@LordShadowfire As a little kid I just hated of all the updates interupting my shows.

@Allelse Oh, God, me too. These kids today, they don't know. They'd break into our show, and then we never got to see how it turned out.

@LordShadowfire Or the time I wanted to tape the little rascals movie, but they were broadcasting princess Diana's funeral on every channel. Australians may whinge on about wanting a republic every twenty years or so, but we're all monarchists deep down.
