The strangest thing about Bin Laden was that for years the American special forces couldn't find him , but ABC news could get an exclusive interview with him somehow.

Funny enough, the Iraq war was started on the back of them being responsible for 9/11 when half of the attackers were fecking Saudi origin.

The Iraqi bombing was quite something, shock and awe. And the Iraqi commander saying everything was going well every day and on the last day you can basically see the US tanks rolling in to town half a mile away.

Don't remember the pilot DJ. I do still remember the footage of the Americans and British gunning down the house Uday and Qusay were hiding in though. That was pretty surreal. And then pictures of their bodies after

Aye, don't think he was beheaded though but the murderer was about to do it.

Quite a lot of "where were you"s with extensive TV coverage:

Princess Di's death (on the night of my 18th, I was in a nightclub)

Marc Vivien Foe death during a match (I was watching in the same pub, on the same TV as I watched 9/11 unfold two years prior).

Lee Rigby (I was trying to fix my electric shower at my previous address).

Grenfell Tower (in bed at my current house)

I remember watching Iraq getting the shiiit bombed out of it live on TV, the Boston marathon bomber manhunt, the Raoul Moat manhunt and the Gazza twist, Cumbria shootings etc.

24 hour news coverage gets a lot of stick but sometimes it is hard not to watch non stop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah remember a few of those. I was crashing at my mums with my then missus when Diana died, my mum knocked on the door early morning like 8 am or something and whispered Diana's dead. It didn't register and we were like Diana who? Don't think i have an aunt Diana.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I got home from Dartfords finest nightclub at about 5am, then about 6am my mum came up to my room, turned the TV on, put the volume up and left without saying a word. I spent the next few hours half sleeping, half listening to people mourn the peoples princess. I felt worse than she did when I finally rose.

OJ Simpson chase was another memorable one.

It cracked me up when the American troops were.saying you don't have to fight and most of the Iraq army surended and we're happy to do so.

Had just got back from a job interview, watched the second plane hit the WTC live and the aftermath, surreal.

When Iraq was bombed my Dad went about 3 months without shaving his face because of worry and stress.

I remember coming downstairs in the middle of the night to see him watching the green night vision flashing on the tele as Baghdad was getting bombed left right and centre.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I met a guy at uni who'd fled Iraq with his family as a kid. Even though he was a from a fairly privileged background he had some of the most horrific stories I've ever heard. Apparently he thought it was normal to see bodies on the streets and churches being bombed. It was only when he had to explain what he'd seen to the officials in Canada that he realised how messed up it was.

Lovely guy though, I consider him a good friend.

I wasn't even born Ted , there was more than Lee Harvey Oswald involved in that , that's for sure.

No, but I can remember where I was when I read Stephen Kings 11.22.63.

My dad escaped from Iraq when he was 15 Bales, 3 months before the Iran and Iraq war. Considers it the best decision he'd ever made.

The day of 9/11 was a Tuesday if I recall

I was in the sixth form at school. I’d finished early and got home and turned on the tv to find it all over the news

I think the only 'hoax' part of 9/11 is how the plane crashed in Pennsylvania. Pretty sure it was shot down and the 'lets roll' story a bit of propaganda.

How about the Boxing Day Tsunami , that was facking mental ?

Didn't the passengers fight back and take hold of the plane?
