    It's been 20 years since the OJ Simpson Bronco police chase. I realize many of you were not born yet. :lol: For those that had been born and remember it, where were you? I had just come back from a recreation baseball game with my dad. I didn't realize the gravity of the situation until a couple months after, but I got mad at my dad for not turning to the baseball game on TV. "No, we're watching this. This is history. Just wait." I was 11.

    I was actually a fly on a farm and I was watching it well flying around then a guy in a green plad shirt and overalls whacked me with a newspaper and I died then I was a cow for a while and then after I was turned into meat I ended up in my human mothers womb so it's been an interesting couple of lives

    Today, June 17, 2014, is the 20th anniversary of my conception according to one of those conception date calculators. So that's where I was 20 years ago.

    It's been that long? Time does pass.

    I honestly don't recall where I was that specific day. But I do recall the O J Simpson case. The part I really remember is that trial that seemed to never end.

    I was 12 and hardly ever watched TV, so I can't remember it.
    I remember where I was / what I was doing when the Princess Dianna news came through, and 9/11 and 7/7 of course.

    Both my parents' birthdays are in October, so there's no obvious backstory to it at all. :lol:

    I was less than 1 year old! My parents were probably just starting to plan my first birthday party exactly 20 years ago today.

    I was most likely in preschool or at home. Didn't do too much as a 4-year old.

    But, we did study the OJ case fairly extensively in my law enforcement classes. "Reasonable doubt" is a large gap to cross when it comes to proof.

    Interesting. I don't remember the Princess Di stuff when it broke. I remember the paparazzi fall out though. 9/11-yep. Not sure what 7/7 was?

    July 7, 2005. The date of the London bombings.

    --------------

    On this day, 20 years ago, I was probably watching cartoons or reading a book. I was only 4 at the time.

    Living near MSU, in Lansing, with my mate. We didn't have a TV or watch TV back then. I was probably stoned, listening to records, or working in the garden.

    July 7, 2005 was the day the London Tube was bombed which killed 56 people. I'm assuming that's what he's talking about.
