I remember that all too well. I watched it live on TV, as did many, many others -- including my then 6-year-old nephew who was watching with his class at school.


There was lots going on in 1985, and I couldn't pick just one.

January 1
- US's 1st manadatory seat belt law goes into effect in New York.
- VH-1 made its broadcasting debut.
- The Internet's Domain Name System is created.
- The first British mobile phone call is made by Ernie Wise to Vodafone.

April 23 – Coca-Cola changes its formula and releases New Coke. (The response is overwhelmingly negative, and the original formula is back on the market in less than three months.)

October 18 – The Nintendo Entertainment System is released in U.S. stores.

November 18 – The comic strip Calvin and Hobbes debuts in 35 newspapers.

The One Child Policy in China was implemented (and announced? That might have happened a teensy bit earlier) this year.
Also "The Life of Brian" was released. And if you have not seen that yet, you should. (one small caveat, though... if you're not Christian? Don't take the movie for actual Christian history/dogma. It.... um.... won't help you.) :qoops:

1976

-the Soweta Riots in South Africa occur, which many consider the beginning of the end of apartheid. Related to this, a large number of nations boycott the Olympics that year in support...

-An enormous Earthquake in China kills nearly a quarter of a million people (especially including the tidal waves/more minor earthquakes elsewhere in the world which were related to the same tectonic event)

-First recorded Ebola Virus outbreak

-Israeli forces are deployed internationally to deal with several airplane hijackings (in different countries, involving different airlines), successfully freeing almost 400 hostages.

-the last Cod War between Iceland and the UK ends this year, with quite a bit of territory ceded to Iceland for an exclusive fishing zone. The UK also faced record droughts that year, although how that might have played in I've no clue.

-and a schoolbus full of young children are abducted along with their driver in the U.S. They are driven away from the site for 11 hours in the company of armed gunmen, buried alive in a moving van with a small quantity of food and water inside an old quarry..... and manage to eventually escape by tunneling out.
