Who else is oging to watch this?

And whats the betting September 11th is number one? I suppose it is kinda important, the start of a war of powers and ideologies. Woo. And a good distraction for China to quietly build up its military power.

    Death of JFK was a biggy, as was Man on The Moon.

    I guess it depends on who is voting, personally I'd say first Man on Moon had bigger impact.

    They're arranged in different categories, i'm not sure if they all merge into one big one though.

    I think they'll do a top 5/10 merged of all categories at the end.

    Im betting September 11th is number one because it's the most recent.

    Yup, was September 11th - And lets face it, it probably is the most recent and its effects are still felt - it really did change the world we live in.

    I know the WTC attack was the only one caught on camera, but I wish there was more acknowledgement of the fact that 4 planes were hijacked that day. Even I sometimes correct myself, because most of the time, all we hear is, "The attacks on the twin towers" and granted, it would be more of a mouthful to mention the pentagon and field where the plane was crashed, but perhaps for the event, they could have shown footage of the memorials at all of the locations or something?

    I think that the US Government are trying ot forget they damaged something as important as the Pentagon and nearly got Camp David where the President was.

    It makes it even more embarrasing to them, after all.

    September 11th will likely be #1 because it is the most recent so people feel it's impact a little bit more than any other.

    personaly I would vote for the shot at Lexington...because as far as i know that is where the term came from...but I might be wrong.

    I don't know about over there, but none of those were as pumped up in the media as 9/11. Although all upsetting to be sure.

    More people died in September 11th.

    Really, I think the Tsunami should have been number one. Mother Nature proving she is more powerful than anything Mankind can do.

    Nope. But it's more important because it's the biggest death count for a terrorist attack, and it wasn't ages ago. More than one factor can contribute to importance, you know.

    I was supprised at some of the stuff that was missing, mind.

    couldn't believe that liverpool winning the champions league was more 'shaking up the world' than martin luther kings 'i have a dream' speech

    Yeah, what on Earth was the Liverpool thing about?

    Or indeed any of the sporting one?

    Surley the large scale football riots or those poor people crushed to death in the stadium was more important than any of the footie ones or Wilkinson's kick? How did winning a world cup "Shake the world?" more than any other country doing it?

    Stupid.

    As far as I can see, starting a war with no justifiable reason... must be a terrorism to. If the invasion of Iraq was, the Nazi's invbading anyone must be too. The only reason was their own gain.

    Making them the most sucessful terrorists ever.
