No tenía nada que ver con que haya sido en España, pero el 9/11 lo dejó tan mal que solo escuchar otra vez lo mismo le trajo horribles recuerdos.Paola Bianchinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29401367.post-74226671013139139602008-03-23T15:33:00.000-04:002008-03-23T15:33:00.000-04:00Great comment, Manny88131!The Challenger explosion...Great comment, <b>Manny88131!</b><br><br>The Challenger explosion is a great one! I will answer to that one now, but I will add it to my next "Where were you" post as well. Thanks for playing!<br><br>* I was at the beach (January is a summer month in my hometown). We heard about it and went to the apartment of a friend who live right in front of the sea. We watched the news and then stayed over playing "Summer Games" on his Commodore 64.<br><br>HA!

I'm ...Interesting meme you have here, Gabriel. I'm honored to play.<br><br>1) I was surfing the Web when I started to see news stories about Princess Diana being in a car accident. I was also watching TV when the news started to flash across the screen. When the stories changed to her dying, we switched to CNN to watch the news coverage.<br><br>2) I don't remember exactly where I was, but I probably saw it on TV or read about it. I didn't know she had been sick.<br><br>3) I was a student at UCLA at this time. I remember seeing the World Cup being played on the big TV screen at the student union building, but only a handful of guys were watching. Soccer (futbol, excuse me) was not on my personal radar at that time.<br><br>4) I vaguely remember watching it on our B&W TV. I was almost four years old at the time.<br><br>5) I was only eight years old and didn't know who Juan Peron was at that time.<br><br>6) 9/11 - I was at work at the time and was a mile away from the Pentagon when it was hit. It took me hours just to get around the area, and I saw the smoke coming out of the Pentagon. I blogged about it a few years later:<br><br>http://manny88131.wordpress.com/2004/09/11/remembering-911/<br><br>Your turn, Gabriel:<br><br>7) Space Shuttle Challenger explosion - 01/28/1986manny88131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29401367.post-15615897318475088882008-03-22T06:19:00.000-04:002008-03-22T06:19:00.000-04:00I also remember exactly where I was... on my "...I also remember exactly where I was... on my "viaje de egresadas!!" (don't know if canadians have that tradition as well)<br>I remember we had just came from the mountain (we went skiing) and one of the girls sat at the TV lounge and called us all.<br>20 of us were in front of the only TV the lodge had watching it whithout being able to believe our eyes.<br><br>As for the rest... <br>1) see above<br>2) didn't care for it at all... I think I learned she had dying way after she passed<br>3) I was only 6 years-old so I barely remember it... my family was gathered in front of the tv and suddenly they all started to scream and jump. My brother and I stared at each other like... "what?!" :)<br>4) I hadn't yet been born<br>5) I hadn't yet been born<br>6) I was at work. It was a horrible day. I was working for Anheuser-Bush here in BA. The american executives from the company were just desperate... some of them had family in NY and on the towers at that time. They sent us all home because there was a rumor that the Talibans were going to attack american companies all over the world. Now I know it sounds silly, but back then was very scary.Paola Bianchinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29401367.post-65196022229986436792008-03-22T06:37:00.000-04:002008-03-22T06:37:00.000-04:00Excelente post.YO tambien tengo recuerdos de lugar...Excelente post.<br>YO tambien tengo recuerdos de lugares o situaciones en el momento que se producian ciertos hechos.<br>Recuerdo por ejemplo, la voladura de la Embajada de Israel, la de la AMIA, como ya conte... la muerte de Olmedo, el ataque a las torres, el comienzo de la guerra del Golfo, la mano de dios, y varias otras... que ahora no me vienen a la mente.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29401367.post-15691008176193147912008-03-22T09:11:00.000-04:002008-03-22T09:11:00.000-04:00Paola, we do have tradition here in North America,...<b>Paola</b>, we do have tradition here in North America, I just don't know the name...<br><br>Re: numbers 4 or 5, you show off.

En el caso de lo de Olmedo, como conté en tu blog (creo) estaba en la carrera de TC de Necochea el día después de la muerte de Olmedo, y fue el día en que un auto (Edgardo Caparrós) salió volando y cayó en medio del público, matando 16 personas.

También cuando murió Perón , venía del colegio y estaba almorzando, mi primer pensamiento (qué Dios me perdone) fue que al otro día no iba a tener clase. Recuerdo, mucho mas cercanos los atentados de la AMIA porque estaba limpiando la casa con la tele prendida y era el cumpleaños de mi mejor amiga y el de las torres gemelas que también fue en el momento que me disponía a limpiar, me quedé en ambos paralizada frente al televisor por un buen rato.<br>Recuerdo por supuesto los mundiales en que Argentina ganó en 78 porque estaba de novia y vivía en el centro y el del 83, porque ese día estudiaba con una amiga porque al día siguiente teníamos un parcial y me quise volver a casa después del partido en mi ciclomotor y me costó un montón llega desde Dorrego y Corrientes a Villa Ballester.Ale Margenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29401367.post-70189797319351359752008-04-02T19:42:00.000-04:002008-04-02T19:42:00.000-04:001. never followed Diana2. who is Linda McCartney? ...1. never followed Diana<br>2. who is Linda McCartney? wife of a Beatle?<br>3. oops, don;t know # 3 either.<br>4.
