    What's the most historically significant event you've ever born witness to?

    (i.e. not at home with your hand stuffed down your kacks watching Sky News)

    Also, please disregard sporting events for the sake of the thread.

    Was 400 metres away when the first of the twin towers fell down, A bit further away by the time the 2nd one went, for obvious reasons.

    The losing or the loosening?

    If it's the latter it's not that significant really.

    Come to think of it, neither is the former.
