Where were you when you found out Princess Diana had died

[xtraoldestock]

I worked late and stopped for a beer. The bar TV had no volume and I thought terrorists had blown up her car based on the scenes I saw. But I kept asking myself why terrorists would blow up her car. A couple at another table told me it was a crash.

Watching SNL.

No clue
It wasn't a event worth remembering

When man landed on the moon..

What "beer" was it?
Molson?

Who's Diana? Lol
When we put a man on the moon, the ENTIRE country stopped and watched.

 

[ws23jrt]

When I got home from work and turned on the news. -- I assume this by looking back 20 years to figure out where I must have been. That day and time is otherwise lost to me.

Yeah, I know these are in bad taste, but when has that ever stopped me?

The wife and I were watching TV when the crash was announced and stayed up to hear the final verdict.

I really can't remember, where I was or what I was doing
it probably wasn't that big of a deal to me...
They were split up, it was just more Elitist UK Monarchy stuff,
like a media soap opera, hoity toidy crap, to be blunt...
I was pretty much sick of hearing about her or it/them, daily...

Sorry to be so frank, but it's like another episode of "Peyton Place"
she wasn't the Princess anymore, just a divorcee of Prince Charles...

The queen hated her, that's where the story should begin...

From the stuff I've read, she was allegedly good person,
she did act like she wanted to help the poor...
but did she really ?
Or was it just more UK elitist monarchy posing for a photo op BS ?
She had a shitload of marital money {married into the Thrown}
to do what she liked...
I have to ask, did she actually give any of it, of any significance to the poor ?

She was a princess, acted like it too & traveled the world to do it...

I think she was a classy lady, but it pretty much ends there...
I was sorry to hear she died, but wasn't really shocked either...

I'm sure I was working 2jobs then, so probably at work; no matter the time zone. Liked her though, she was crazy to get mixed up with the royal family tho.

And where were you when you found out Rodney King had died?

 

[67belvedere/225]

i had just finished doing the horizontal hokie with a girl in a sleazy motel room
in the rough part of town

 

[ws23jrt]

I had to look up the (familiar) name Rodney King. A wakeup call for all that live with daily news.
WTF is the news doing to all of us?

Where were you when you found out the world had lost Gary Coleman?
