9/11 -> At home getting ready for work...first heard about it while listening to the Howard Stern show. Turned the TV on in time to see the 2nd plane hit. My TV didn't get turned off for 3 or 4 days after that. I cried for even longer.
Flutie's Hail Mary Pass -> Sitting at my parents house telling my dad that the game isn't over yet. Needless to say, he was in the kitchen and missed it all!
President Reagan Shot -> Hanging out at Highland Variety after school.
Princess Diana Killed -> Laying in bed listening to my old AM/FM headphones.
Ball Through Buckners Legs ('86 World Series) -> Sitting in a tent in the middle of the Mojave Desert. I was in the Army and listening to the game on a transistor radio...with a Mets fan from NYC!!
Challenger Disaster -> Getting ready for an overnight shift as an MP in Bremerhaven Germany.
Magic Johnson Announces He is HIV+ -> Driving through Billerica Center. Very scary news about a virus that we didn't really understand too much about at the time.
Feel free to add to the list...
