Where Were You When....?

Our generation has a few of these...

Where were you when OJ ran from the police in his white Bronco?

- I was in my dorm my freshman year at VT watching on a friend's TV.

Where were you when the Columbine Massacre occured?

- I was on my couch at 1108 Progress Street in Blacksburg eating a bowl of cereal.

Where were you on September 11, 2001?

- I was working in Washington, DC at the CEG. I remember being scared to ride the Metro home to my apartment in Alexandrea, but I did it. I remember walking home from the Van Dorn Metro station (about a mile) and being able to see the smoke from the Pentagon.

Where were you when the Space Shuttle Columbia distegrated on re-entry?

- I was unemployed - working out at the gym that morning and watching it live on TV.

Where were you when the U.S. found and captured Saddam Hussein?

- totally random, but I was in Wal-Mart and they had their propaganda monitors tuned to the news

Where were you on April 16, 2007, when a mad-man murdered 32 people at Virginia Tech?

- I was at the Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center, again watching it unfold in real time.

..... It is sad. unfortunately this list will only get longer...
