Both Princess Di and Twin Towers stand out. THe Princess DI one for when I woke up late as had been out the night before and had vague memories of the Cab Driver turning up the news but no more than that no one was in the House when i woke up and I just was eating my food when every channel had a picture of a runway

Where we were working on the day 911 we just had a Radio on and emails and a guy popped his head into the office and mentioned a plane had crashed we changed to a news station and listen to it unfold amazing some of the rumours that were heard.

I remember a week or two later there was a incident reported at a new york airport i think it was which was a false alarm on the radio and that was possibly more terrifying for about 30 mins or more thinking here we go again..

One that has not been mentioned and possibly didn't affect many was 7-7-05 the day after 2012 was announced affected me personally with friends and staff involved and I know of people that still have issues relating to the fear and terror felt that day.

I guess thats the issue sadly disasters and terrible things happen all around the world every day small and big. Often as with many things in life it can depend on many things why a event makes the news.

I have even witnessed events especially in London which never even make the local news or newspapers, yet Ambulances and police by the dozen are present
