    If coronavirus and 9/11 are the two biggest events of our life, what is the third? (If you don't recall 9/11 or do recall Nixon resigning, you're not the target demo for this Q.)

        I've spent a minute or two trying to think of an argument for a positive event being #3, (for my generation in the US, not me personally) and I really just don't have anything. Bleak. I finished high school in 2007, so I guess the recession?

        Pope Benedict XVI's resignation: I never really cared about him, but I remember how the world (at least this side of the world) came to a halt and realised that we were living something that had not happened for hundreds of years.

        And then I'm with @nathankpeck on Columbia's disaster in 2003 - have some crystal clear memories about that moment (and I was 11).

        For me probably the space shuttle Columbia disaster. I don’t know if it was as big of a thing elsewhere in the nation but it made an impact on teen me because pieces were literally raining down all over my state

        What came to mind when I read the tweet was getting ready for a friend’s wedding while watching coverage of Columbia come apart during reentry.

        Ruby Ridge , Waco, Oklahoma City Bombing, LA Riots, Unabomber and Atlanta Olympics Bombing. The 1990s were out of control!

        The first gulf war. It was the first time that cable TV came to India and you saw an entire war on 24-hr TV. It set the stage for the next 20 years in terms of what happened in that part of the world.

        Ohh... good one. It put CNN on the MSM map as well. Well ahead of their competitors. Another one for me was Regan getting shot in '81. Oh, and the '87 crash. Black Monday.
