Other such landmark events are hearing the news of JFK's
assassination, the first space shuttle blowing up and 9/11. And yes,
I know exactly where I was when I heard of those things.
To make reference to another thread, interesting that all those are
American events yet they are etched on the consciousness of a
Canadian. Goes to show, eh?
Not just Canada.
One of the images from 9/11 that will forever remain indelibly etched
upon my memory is the expressions on the faces of some pedestrians on a
Paris street as they press against the glass of what is apparently an
appliance store selling televisions. You can see a reflection in the
glass of the TV screen showing the twin towers with flames exploding out
the side of the building, so you know what they're seeing.
Armstrong spoke of Man and Mankind, not of America & the United States.
I think these events are remembered worldwide because they shadowed the
hopes & dreams of all, not just those of us who live here in North America.
