A thing that happened

Am I ready for the wall-to-wall 9/11 coverage tomorrow?

All day on the radio and all night on the television. This is in Sweden: I've never been to the US, and I doubt I ever will go there.

But I still remember that day like I was yesterday. (Insert boring introspection here.)

Whatever shocking thing you experience, no matter how unusual, with time, it will be transformed into A Thing That Happened. A historical fact.
