I remember three. When Michael Jackson, Benazir Bhutto died (first female prime minister of Pakistan or any Muslim country) that one was weird because my sister joked about her dying half an hour before we found out she actually died😭 I was 10 then.

And Michael Jackson's death, I was 11. I was eating a cookie and walking into the kitchen while reading the TV then turned to my brother like "oh, Michael Jackson is dead. Who's that?" Then they showed his face I was like "OHMAHGAWSH MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD"

Oh I also remember watching saddem Hussain being executed (not like the whole thing obvs, pics of it on the news) I think I was 5 then?

Then they showed his face
Which one? He had several over the years. (Sorry, Michael, I love you, and if you can hear this I'm still a fan.)
@LordShadowfire lmao oh no, leave Michael alone
