  Vague recollection of Rodney King & the LA Riots. After that would be the Northridge earthquake, because it woke me up.

  I remember us giving Hong Kong to China, and Princess Diana’s horrible death.

  As for the picture, I don’t know what county it’s from but it doesn’t look like the British Broadcasting Corporation which would have been the dominant broadcaster of that era, so I wouldn’t know.

    It’s Walter Cronkite reporting on Kennedy’s assassination. I’m not American, but I’ve seen it often enough now to know this.

  Partially because I lived through it, the ‘89 earthquake. I specifically remember not having power and then everything turning back on after midnight and what the news looked like (more grainy than normal) because I was afraid of the dark and hadn’t been able to sleep.

  It was a weird childhood, I was 8 when Obama was installed as president. I remember people talking about George Bush Jr and the wars he started in Afghanistan and Al Qaeda. Big gap in between Obama’s presidency and then 2012 shooting of Sandy Hook. And abt every school shooting of the 2010s after that sadly. Also I really want to vote for Mitt Romney but I was 12 and brainwashed by my parents. Now that I’m on a form of obamacare I don’t remember any issues with him. I would re-elect for a third term

  Either the first Donald Trump presidency or maybe a bit before that with the Eurozone crisis and the collapse of BES
