I remember it all to clearly. September 2, 1998.
I was sitting at my dining room table playing solitaire at about 10:30ish pm. Suddenly, I heard a loud, thundering SWOOSH, then my entire apartment building shook. It puzzled me for a bit but I soon forgot about it...until I turned the television on for the 11:00pm News.
There it was, displayed all over the news on every channel. Swissair Flight 111 crashed into the Atlantic just off of Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia. The 20th anniversary of that tragic event is tomorrow where I'm sure there will be a vigil for the 229 souls who lost their lives that fateful night.
This Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of the Swissair Flight 111 crash off Peggy's Cove, where the jetliner plunged into the water after an electrical fire spread through the cockpit, causing a catastrophic failure.

@Starmaiden I can only imagine how it would be to witness something like that so closely.
