1. Reagan ... senior in high school ... I was in one of the first computer classes ... 12 students, and 3 Apple computers. Our teacher was a great guy ... he was taking computer classes at night, and then teaching the same stuff to us the next week. He grabbed a radio and we listened to the coverage in class.

2. Graduate school, psychology department lounge. I saw it live. We also had a jackass there ... his exact quote was "So much for the first teacher in space." I nearly punched his lights out.

Tienanmen Square, June 1989 (not on original list). In London on my first Business trip.

California Earthquake of Oct 1989 (not on original list) ... was in Denver at a conference, had defended my PH.D the week before.

3. 911. I was at work, in a large corporation where they had TVs in common areas. Within in minutes, those areas were packed. We saw the second plane hit live. Then folks went back to their offices and started to IM and call friends and family all over the place.

Columbia disaster (not on the original list)... on a winter vacation with my wife in Tennessee Mountains.
