interesting list. I found it to be pretty closely tied to my generation as far as what was listed. I remember most of those. I did find it odd that whitney houstons death was on there, but a lot of that surely has to do with timing and the fact that it just happened when they conducted the survey. I'd think Michael Jackson's death would rank way hirer than whitney's.
I found it funny that a lot of commenters on the article were complaining about certain things no ton the list. They seemed to fail to notice that it was a survey. Most of the people who took it weren't alive during the moon landing. That's why it's not on the list. Plus, people seem to remember things that happen out of the blue and aren't planned. Sure, the moon landing was huge but it was a planned event, like a sporting event.
