According to This Site

I was:
19 years old at the time of the 9-11 attack on America

During the West Wing. I was waiting for Mrs Landingham to die. I stayed up almost the whole night, went to a US politics lecture the next day, and had nightmares for a couple of weeks thanks to the contant footage

18 years old on the first day of Y2K
Just. By about three days. I was at a friends place, after spending a night drinking stolis and saki. It's good to know my alcohol tastes have improved. After my dad spending ages anti-Y2King other people's computers, his own went back to about 1993 . . .

15 years old when Princess Diana was killed in a car crash
We turned on the TV after being out all day. Mum was standing behind the couch watching and I was on my way to my room and Mum just said "Di's dead". I remember watching the funeral too.

13 years old at the time of Oklahoma City bombing
I remember it happening - I would have been in Grade nine, but it's visuals I remember more than thoughts.

12 years old when O. J. Simpson was charged with murder
I remember staying up and seeing the verdict. For some reason it sticks with me like Sydney winning the Olympics, because I stayed up to see that too.

11 years old at the time of the 93 bombing of the World Trade Center
Memories of it happening, but nothing specific. We were in America later that year, but I can't remember anything being said about terrorism

9 years old when Operation Desert Storm began
My biggest memories involve lots of desert, bombs falling, night vision goggles. A lot like this time

7 years old during the fall of the Berlin Wall
Vivid pictures. Mum told me we discussed it at school, but I can't remember.

4 years old when the space shuttle Challenger exploded
I know we visited the memorial in Arlington Cemetary in 1993

2 years old when Apple introduced the Macintosh
Does anyone else remember those Apples they inflicted on schools in the early 90s?

a 1 year old during Sally Ride's travel in space
Umm, okay.
