Poll: Signficant current events

Sort  of a spin off to the other poll -

What do you think was the most significant current/political event of each decade of your life? 

For me:

1980's - Fall of the Berlin Wall

1990's - OJ Simpson trial (I know there were a lot more important things that happened in this decade, but that was such a huge deal at the time, it's the first thing I think of!)

2000's - Obama's election (it was a toss up for me between 9/11 and Obama, but I think Obama's election is even more significant because of the mess we have gotten ourselves in since 9/11, so it won for me).

What do you guys think?

  • 1970's: Elvis died (the year I was born)

    1980's: Reagan shot, challenger exploded

    1990's: There are a few for me. Columbine, cloned sheep, gulf war, oklahoma city bombing. 

    2000's: Probably the blackout for me since it really showed how a lot of people/agencies had not learned anything  from 9/11. 

  • 1970s: i barely four when the 70s ended so i don't actually remember enough of my own life nevermind significant events1980's: the challenger explosion, the cold war coming to an end, and the pan am bombing (as a syracuse alum, this would hit close to home later on as well)
    1990's: the gulf war and columbine2000's: tie between 9/11 and obama's election?
