Most Important/Historical Event You Ever Witnessed in Person

[theantiquetiger]

Mine will be witnessing a scud missile come flying in over head, hitting a few blocks away, killing 33 US Soldiers.


I saw this thread in another forum, thought it was a great topic.

Didn't really witness anything, but I was in the death zone during the almost meltdown at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant back in the seventies. Scary time. We were packed and ready to bolt. Not sure what good it would have done.

My childhood home was less than a block from the where the Kent State shootings took place . I could hear the shots. Minutes later people were running through the yard in all directions. I was only six but it had a MAJOR impact on me.

I guess the closest would be volunteering in the last Presidential election. I wasn't actually there in Washington, but I felt like the whole day was part of a pretty big event. (I tried to keep this related to the event, and avoid political content)

Bill Clinton's first win for the presidency. It was a helluva night in Little Rock!

In the grand scheme of things I can't really say that it was "important" but it was relatively historic; I was at game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

I also saw Tom Glavine win his 200th game.

saw the shuttle crashing a few years back.

Was at one of the full complete original Beach Boys last shows.

Was in Washington DC the day they dedicated the United States Air Force Memorial.

I got nothing. Some pop culture stuff, but nothing really historical. My wife does have a piece of the Berlin Wall that a college friend sent to her who was there at the time it came down.

[The Toyroom]

Was at Woodstock '99....
