This happened on the first day of classes my freshman year of college. Very traumatic time. Everyone in my dorm was trying to get to the top floors to see the destruction that was happening live on the TV. Classes were canceled and people were trying to regain a sense of normalcy.

January 26, 2020 – Kobe Bryant’s Passing

I remember where I was when I heard that Kobe Bryant passed away on January 26, 2020. I was at home from serving at church and my buddy from work sent me a link to a TMZ article. I didn’t believe it at first. That was a tremendous loss to the sports world. He had so much more to accomplish but he had accomplished so much in his short life. Yesterday would have been his 46th birthday.

There’s more but those are the most immediate historical occurrences that come to mind.
