    This startlingly brave artistic statement brought a tear to my eye at the time.

    That Pokemon episode when Ash is in an igloo somewhere and he puts all his Pokemon into their pokeballs to keep them warm but they come out and hug him to keep him warm.

    What can I say, I'm a 90s child.

    But for me it was from a different angle.

    I'd just returned home from service in Lebanon when the attacks happened, in my home unit we were getting reports back that the situation in Lebanon was tense as the locals were celebrating the attacks.

    But worse than that was my son who was only ten at the time worked himself into a state over the next few days thinking this was the beginning of a world war and that I'd be called away again.. Even thinking back at his turmoil now I get a little misty eyed.

    So on a personal level that's what 9/11 mean's to me.

    Other than that I'd say Mandela's release from prison and Mick Carruth's Olympic Gold.

    Beslan, I have never seen anything more horrifying.

    Roger Williamson's fatal crash at the Dutch Grand Prix. It is the actions of David Purley, a fellow driver who abandoned his race to try and rescue Roger that makes this video so sad. His walking away at the end hits me. Such a helpless, frustrated, heart breaking walk. What he now calls the saddest day of his life.





    Edit: I posted a more detailed post about this before.

    +1 on Futurama....Those writers are great at emotional triggers!
    The 1 where fry finds out about his nephew, and the 1 where he rearranges the stars for Leela.
    The Ireland v England game at Croke Park...
    I was living abroad and watching the game in a bar with a few English ex-pats who couldn't understand the furore over what this game meant to many Irish...
    I explained a bit of the history to them particularly around bloody Sunday...
    When the teams came out on the pitch and the Anthem was sang I cried :'(
    During the game I was ecstatic as we put England to the sword :)

    At the end of the game one of the English lads turned to me and said...' I can see what that meant to ye....But christ I bet our lads wish they brought the machine guns today!'

    But not counting sports...
    1.The Enniskillen bombing and the video footage of the aftermath.
    2. The Omagh bombing, I thought the peace process was going to fall apart and the cycle start again.
    3. Drumcree....exposing kids to that level of hatred for the sake of confrontational sectarian 'tradition'

    First time seeing it, its actually shocking the lack of help from the people at the scene. So sad for Purley.

    Charlie Chaplin returns to Hollywood to receive an Oscar, 20 years after being kicked out of the United States. You would need a heart of stone not to be moved by this speech.
