Just something different to switch things up a bit. I just saw a RT from Cecil Hurt on Twitter about the first major news story that you remember living through. His was the JFK assassination when he was 4. Anyway, I got to thinking about what would be mine. I can tell you I don't remember anything at age 4. I mean the first Alabama memory I have is the 1990 Iron Bowl and I was 7.
I vaguely remember the Operation Desert Shield which turned into Desert Storm, and I think that would be it. That occurred in 1990. I remember watching the nightly news, and getting updates on the radio each morning before school.
So, what about you all? What was the first major news story you recall living through?
