Do you remember where you were when they news came that Saddam Hussien and Osama Bin Laden were caught/killed?

I do remember the moment for both.

I was laying in my bed playing with my cat early morning, my mom came in the room and told me "They got him" I replied "who?" "Saddam Hussien has been caught" and i promptly got out of bed and went to the TV.

As for Osama, i was hanging out with friends at their apartment playing games. i refreshed the Yahoo news screen and Osama Bin Laden dead story came up. Then i started checking other news sources and it started popping there as well.

I didn't care.

They could've found Osama much faster by publicly executing all of his family members until he stepped forward. Thats what I would've done.

No for either. Heard it, processed it, moved on.....but it wasn't one of those events that stick in your mind.

Can't remember for Hussein. I heard about Osama when i was laying in my bed, playing Zenonia 2 on my iPhone. My roommate burst into my room, screaming "THEY GOT THAT DAMN BASTARD!" and dancing like that banana from peanut butter jelly time.... Well his aunt died on 09.11 so I can't really blame him for beeing that excited. :P

I never met Osama or Hussien. so their demise was not that important to me. I could gawk in aw as the media tells me how important it is, or I could... just do something else with my time.

Actually you wanna know the truth? I heard Osama was dead from OT :lol:

Rushed to the TV to see what they were saying right after! Thanks OT, if It wasn't for your obsesion with this, I wouldn't have gotten to know about it till trhe morning after the news broke, and I wouldn't have seen much of the coverage and Obama's Adress.

I was asleep, but I had the TV running on C-span, and some dude started shouting and I woke up. The dude was shouting something arabic, it was some kind of news conference, and the banner at the bottom of the screen said "Saddam captured". I turned the TV off and went back to sleep.

No idea with Saddam, and I was watching daily show when I found out about bin laden. And just so you know it takes them 2 weeks for the translaters to do their job with daily show, so I found out on my couch, 2 weeks after the event. :P

I turned on the news one evening and saw that Saddam was executed. And for Osama I opened up my laptop on my MSN homepage and it said "Breaking news, Osama Bin Laden has been Killed". I was like "whoa" with both situations.

For Sadaam I was in Detroit and the Fox affiliate said not to go to Dearbon because people were in the streets celebrating and acting out of control.

For Osama, I was just at home and saw a news blip go across the bottom of the screen the next day.

Not long after Osama was killed, I was still awake despite it being about 10 PM Michigan time and having to wake up at 6 AM the next morning, I was browsing my Facebook and a guy from my school had posted "OSAMA IS DEAD!! YESSSS!!" I was shocked and in disbelief and looked it up to see if it was true and it was. I don't remember Saddam though

I think someone in my family was watching the phillies game and they announced on there and everybody started cheering. I turned it on and watched a little bit of the game.

I can't remember where I was when they spoke of Saddam, but I was on OT when I learned the Osama thing. The first thing I did was watch "America **** yeah" on Youtube.

Don't remeber for Hussein.

For Bin Laden, I was at my friend's house and she showed me it on the computer, then we put on the TV to hear a statement from Obama but he took like 5 hours to get the podium so we said "F it" and changed it.

I just remember these two men's moment. Primarely because they were more central in effecting my world.

during the Gulf War, Saddam nailed my city - i was living in - with scuds. killing people. and i remember vividly - even though i was really young - the air sirens going off in the night and hearing the jets roaring through distance and ovehead constantly.

and i remember Osama really because of the Al-Khobar bombings which he was accused off. My house literally shook and i was in my bed. when the bomb went off. I was in my bed, my brothers and sister were watching tv. when the ground shook i remember our house maid come running into my bed room and held me tight scared witless. my dad rushed in the house from his bedroom looking to see the kids were ok. I eventualy walked outside seeing all the hindi house drivers meeting and radios in their cars going off. you could hear police sirens and when i walked around the block in the direction of the building that was blown i could see smoke billowing in the far distance. Not to mention Osama's Al Qaeda negative impact on me -as a Muslim - around the world.

so for these two men to get caught and go down. I remember those moments.

Don't remember when they captured Saddam at all. I remember hearing about it, but I don't remember what month or where I was. Now I do remember Bin Laden's death. It was a Sunday, it was raining, and a friend of mine and I decided to go to this huge bar that was (unknown to us) going out of business slowly and there were only some people around the bar. We got to watch it on tv while listening to music and enjoying $2 you call its.
