So i'm curious

Take a minute today and posts the three news events that have affected you the most personally:

For example mine are:

1. Reagan getting shot, for those that haven't been through a president getting shot, I honestly don't think there is a bigger deal.
2. The first shuttle explosion, just total shock that day, particularly with a teacher on board.
3. 9/11 - only time I can remember being really worried about our country and the world in general the night of the 11th when I went to bed.

I am curious what has affected others.
