Peeps - MI-5? Is A&E still planning on showing it?

I somehow expected it to be happening already.

I remember where I was when Reagan was shot,

My dorm room. Some guy ran in. No wait - that was John Lennon's death.

Challenger exploded,

At work, watching on the TV with Christopher Knight (aka, Peter Brady)

Rabin was shot,

Don't recall.

and 9/11.

Saw it first on my computer when I checked my email.

Not terribly clear, but what the hell. Whale v. Shark

Heh. Not only do Orcas kick the great white shark ass, they do it as casually as a suburban Mom picking up a tasty snack for their youngster.

Watched it in class, no idea if it was first run (unlikely in the UK)

probably not, since it was probably late afternoon GMT.

I remember when Sadat was assassinated very vividly. I was in 8th grade and that year I was the first one home every day. I remember thinking that afternoon about what I would do if there was some big news story that I would be the first one in the family to hear. And then I turned on the tv.

I remember where I was when Reagan and the Pope (and tellling a teacher in my afterschool program that the pope had been were shot and him thinking we were joking because it was so soon after the attempt on Reagan). And where I was when I learned that John Lennon had been killed (for some reason not until the following morning in home ec class).

But I don't remember where I was when I heard about Challenger. weird.

I thought I remembered seeing the chakllenger explode, but my math says I would have been 13, and therefore in 7th grade, while my memory of watching the shuttle on tv in a classroom has my 3rd grade teacher in it.

I do remember afterwards all the adults saying that this would be our "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?" moment, but I have to say that 9/11 sort of blew that right out of the water.

That was me. "Some guy" was my roommate.

Found out about Lennon the next morning. It was exam time.

I also remember that I saw that all about Reagan, Sadat, etc when watching the 6:00 news with my grandparents. I actually remember when the Iran hostages were freed and I was eight.

It pretty much did, yeah.

But even before then, it was never my Kennedy moment -- I did see it live, and I was saddened, and then I was quickly annoyed by all the constant repetition. I didn't have the visceral OHMYGODSHOCK that everyone was so busy telling me I was experiencing.
