So what do you guys think? I know some of us are older than others but I think we are all within 10 years of one another. We could probably start this in the 80s. My list would be:
Fall of the Berlin Wall
Desert Storm
Creation of Internet
9/11
Coronavirus
I dunno about some of these but the Berlin Wall coming down changed Europe pretty significantly. Desert Storm put us right in the thick of things in the middle east. Internet and 9/11 are obvious, not sure how crazy 9/11 was for u guys over there. And now this which is clearly unprecedented.
Think you’ve pretty much hit that on the head for me too!
Being a Londoner, the 2005 July bus bombings leave a memory too. I remember some random teacher running into our classroom in the early afternoon telling us to all avoid getting the bus home if possible because of what was happening.
I then remember my dad getting home at 8-9pm because he (and many others) had decided to walk home from the city.
Although it leaves a memory I don’t think it makes the list given the weight of others.
