I remember where I was and what I was doing during the JFK Assassination (I was taking an algebra test in school) the Challenger disaster and 9/11 (I was at work and a colleague rushed into my office to tell me).

It’s odd how the moon landing didn’t make it into this Top-20 list, it’s the one that emotionally affected me the most. I remember watching the tube sitting on the couch, dripping wet from the shower, lather on my face and a razor in my hand, laughing and crying uncontrollably at the same time. I don’t know whether to be proud or ashamed to admit it was the most joyous single moment of my life.

The survey was conducted by Nielsen in February.

(Loose translation: We should buy more TVs, preferably from Sony.)
