President Clinton's formal televised apology to those placed in harms way during nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific Proving Grounds and on American soil 1940s-60s Including infants and prisoners directly injected with plutonium and other nuclear weapons associated chemicals. Not only that ,he released the participating military men from their top secret Q clearance and threat of military prison and fines for treason if they spoke about their experiences. A televised event many waited over 50 years for was overshadowed by the OJ verdict. Some families are still just finding out their fathers were present at actual nuclear weapons detonations. The generational genetic damage has been very real.

C. S. Lewis, often considered one of the greatest theologians of the 20th century and author of many books including the famous 'Chronicles of Narnia', asked that people NOT make a big deal out of his passing. Despite this, a huge celebration of life was planned. He Died November 22, 1963 on the same day John F. Kennedy was assassinated. He got his wish, as his death was completely overlooked by media in the face of JFK's death.

I remember exactly where I was the day Farrah and Michael died - on vacation in Las Vegas. We were in the pool discussing Farrah's death when someone looking at their phone said, "Michael Jackson just died." Everyone just said no way, thinking they were making a tasteless joke. I remember thinking, when we realized it was true, that at least Farrah's family would have some privacy for her funeral.

Chappaquiddick, there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. That was long before PR firms had "spin doctors" but Apollo II must have saved the Kennedy's buckets of money. I would have thought old man Joe Kennedy would have dropped dead hearing the news but he lasted until November 18 1969.

We all make mistakes but going over a bridge in the dark would mess up anyone's mind. It was a dark dirt road, the bridge had no guardrails, I don't know how deep the water was but there was a strong tidal current.

In Australia, not only did the Black Saturday bushfires overshadow all other news, but the global financial crisis had relatively mild effects on our economy due partly to our system of financial regulation and the structure of our finance sector providing better protection against the GFC than some other countries. The Federal Government still considered it necessary to stimulate the economy by giving most citizens a one-off cash payment of $900 to spend as we saw fit - and many people donated the money to assist bushfire survivors.

FYI, although the attack on Pearl Harbor took place on December 7th and the attack on Clark Field was on December 8th they both actually happened on the same day. The one day "difference" is only because the Philippines are on the other side of the International Dateline and therefore one day "ahead". In real time is was about 10 hours later. There was also significant controversy because neither Gen. Douglas McArthur nor the Clark Field base commander ordered the base to full alert even though they'd had a 10 hour heads up about Pearl Harbor. That means that just like at PearlHarbor the planes were neatly park in rows at the airstrip making then an easy target for the Japanese attack (My dad was an Army Air Corp bomber navigator who was stationed there and wounded during the attack)

I remember the Nelson Mandela death being quite big, especially because it sprung the Mandela effect theory into the pop culture zeitgeist, I was in fact in the same spot I am in my house at the moment, in this very corridor, when I learnt of Mandela's death because of Roger Taylor and Brian May of Queen announcing it, they were very close to the former president. Brian May was one of the people who campaigned for Mandela when he was incarcerated and Queen were very vocal about apartheid in South Africa, even going there to speak out about it, especially with Freddie Mercury being African and this, racism, being a very close to home topic for him growing along Banthu people and having a black Banthu nanny as a toddler. Unfortunately their enthusiasm and will to unite both parties by playing to white audiences and back audiences was seen as a defiance on the ban on playing in South Africa imposed by Europe and America due to the apartheid and racism issues and Queen faced backlash and a temporary ban from touring and from the record industry when going back to Europe. Their mistake was playing to segregated audiences, especially in Sun city, a prominent white elite residential complex in South Africa.

The biggest issue with Black Saturday was that the Victorian government made it illegal to clean undergrowth or back burn. This lead to enormous amounts of dead wood, undergrowth ect fueling the fires, the extreme temperature, also the majority of deaths occurred at Kings Lake. Only one access road once it was cut, there was no hope

I lived through the terrible 1983 Ash Wednesday Australian fires. When the fires get going nothing stops them. They even form their own weather systems and firenadoes = yes tornadoes made of fire. Fire tornadoes scare even experienced firefighters to bits. One tragic irony of the 2009 fires was that Brian Naylor, a news anchor who covered the 83 fires, lost his life and family in the 2009 fires. He had his house state of the art for fighting fires. But it just came over and blasted everything.

I'll never forget when MJ died. It's like the world stood still. RIP.

I was 12 years old when Lucy gave birth to little Ricky. It was a huge event. We were one of the few families on my street to buy a TV, so there was 15 people in my living room huddled around a little black and white box. All I heard the next morning were people asking, “Did you see the show last night?” It was a huge event.
