I didn't remember the Senate bombing, I had to google it. I asked my wife and she didn't remember either, and I am telling you, this woman remembers every damn thing.
It's not something I ever remember hearing about, though obviously it was big news at the time. I remember the embassy bombing in Beirut, I remember it came out that US was protecting Klaus Barbie but he got caught. I remember Karen Carpenter died, but I don't remember a bomb going off in Senate chambers when no-one was there and no-one was hurt.
Since we are remembering, I also remember two years after that when Yitzhak Rabin got assassinated for signing the Oslo accords that would have been a peace deal between Israel and the PLO. Unfortunately an extremist Israeli killed him to put a stop to any peace. Then Netenyahu did everything to he could to get rid of the PLO (who wanted to sign the peace deal remember) and support Hamas so that Gaza and the west bank wouldn't coordinate and so there wouldn't be any Palestine state, and I feel like that had some unintended and negative consequences.
Beirut is another one that I missed. My uncles had just come home from the Marine Corps when that happened. Neither was stationed there but the corp wasn't that big back then. They knew a few of the guys over there.
I remember Elvis dying. For years there were ads for his records on the TV. I didn't understand who he was at the time. I just remember everyone talking about it. One of the few things I remember from that age.
Not really a historic event but do you remember Zamfir and his magical pan flute?
The capital was bombed twice in a ten year period.
Haha yes I remember Zamfir, hauntingly beautiful!
