We all gathered around the TV in our households and witnessed some of the most memorable events of our lifetimes. There were no 24 hour cable news networks, no social media, just a full day (or days) of celebrations, tragedies, triumphs, and endings that we all witnessed on the same channel, most likely from a super heavy wood paneled television set in our living room. What were some events that w...
