1989 word series -- I was not watching it. I was at University of Toronto and read about it on USENET... where people were reporting on it from what they saw on TV... then the university geeks started reporting of network splits and bay area sites going off. (note: I'm not a sports guy -- I read about most of my sports info online, lol).
Challenger explosion...... I was in high school. I had the morning off, so I slept in. Just before 11am, I got out of bed... turned on CBS (game show, awaiting TPIR)... and went to the shower. came out of the shower expecting TPIR. I did not see TPIR live..... I saw replays of the explosion. I've often been a NASA geek -- so I probably watched this for an 30 minutes in my towel. Diana death -- I don't remember the specifics of when the news broke, but I recall Kevin Newman (formerly of Canadian nets) on ABC covering it that evening. Gulf War start. CNN. I had recently moved into an apartment with my fiancée/wife... and hated the fact that I had to awake at 630am to make my commute to work to arrive at 8am. However, the green missiles shown live from the Baghdad hotel live on CNN captured my attention until about midnight. Reagan shot -- not TV..... but the gym teacher came into the gym and said Reagan was shot. 9/11 -- wasn't on TV.... read it on internet first, then headed to conference room at work and watched either CTV or CBC. Continued to be shocked for days. 2016 election - a collection of CNN, CBC, CTV, etc. On Wednesday, July 22, 2020 at 8:13:47 PM UTC-4 [email protected] wrote: > I was watching the World Series in 1989 when the Earthquake happened.
