Most Memorable TV Moments of the Past 50 Years

From the July 12th Wilmington Star-News by David Bauder AP.

Sony Electronics and the Nielsen television research company worked together on the survey.  They didn't just ask people if they watched it, but also if they remembered where they were when they watched it, who they watched it with and whether they talked about it.

These are the Top Moments on TV

1.  September 11th terrorist attack (2001)
2.  Hurricane Katrina (2005)
3.  The O.J. Simpson verdict (1995)
4.  Challenger Space Shuttle explosion (1986)
5.  Death of Osama bin Laden (2011)

6.  The O.J. Simpson white Bronco chase (1994)
7.  Japanese earthquake and tsunami (2011)
8.  Columbine School shooting (1999)
9.  BP oil spill in Gulf of Mexico (2010)
10.  Princess Diana's funeral (1997)

I'll have my own comments later.
