JFK. To young to remember.
72. Must not have been watching TV.
Helo. Is this Vietnam?
Challenger: Loved the NASA guy ...pause"Obviously a major malfunction".

Miracle on ice: A bunch of guys chasing a little black speck that you can see once in a while.Hockey right?

9/11: Takes the cake.

The Oakland-Hills FireStorm.

[DavidC]

Not sure what the girl's name was, but a one or two summer olypmics ago, an American girl won the 15m platform dive with a broken foot...

(Laura wilkinson?)

The part htat was really special about that was that when she got up for her last dive, she stood at the top for a few minutes and just looked around and smiled. It was really awesome. I swear I've never seen a more beautiful smile (on t.v. anyways).

and as far as drama in t.v. fiction: J'kar's speech when in Babylon 5 when he was thrown out of council was awesome.

This was asked on Anandtech and I thought it was a good topic for OOT so I borrowed it.

What are some of the most dramatic moments you have witnessed on TV. For me they are:

John F. Kennedy's assasination
72 Munich Olympics when the terrorists killed the Israeli athletes in the helicopter...unbelievable at the time.
Challenger space shuttle explosion.
Miracle on Ice..mostly because of Al Michaels' commentary.
911.

Have to put the moon landing of 1969 right there. Can't include Miracle On Ice since it was shown on tape 5 hours after the game was actually played. Challenger and 1972 Olympics are great choices.

72. Must not have been watching TV.
Helo. Is this Vietnam?

I don't know if your kidding or not but here you go


all of this was on network tv
