I was 8 at the time and in in Sri Lanka with my family - the day the tsumani struck, we left our hotel on the coast in the morning. Over the course of the day, we received dozens of worried messages from friends and family back home. We were travelling so we didn't actually grasp what was going on at first or why so many people were contacting us until we saw the news later that day. Turns out the tsunami hit 10-15 mins after our departure.The tsunami always sticks in my head. My mum called me Boxing Day morning as she thought my friend was in Thailand. She said about 10 people had been killed by a big tidal wave. The way the numbers just grew and grew then was so shocking and awful.
How could anyone do that? That poor creatureAmongst many of the ones mentioned - a couple of years ago there was a story about a cat who had been strapped to a firework and let off. The cat lost a leg in the process, it was blown off. Then later died but not immediately. I’m not a sad crier, I’ve never cried watching tv or anything like that, but I bawled my eyes out reading that story. I remember it every time there’s fireworks and it makes me sick they can still be bought so easily and casually by anyone.
Oh gosh, this nearly made me vomit. That's horrendousThe other one that freaks me out as someone who lives alone was a woman who rented a holiday home, they believe she got up to go to the loo in the night and took a wrong turn, getting shut in a cupboard that didn’t have a handle on the inside. She wasn’t found for days and it looked like she had tried to scratch her way through the walls to try to escape. I do not go ANYWHERE without my phone as a result
The Casey Anthony case still haunts me too! I was in Florida at the time of the trial and it was insane! Interesting about the book... what makes you think she didn’t do it? I believe she did it but would be interesting to readI remember my mum and neighbour watching princess Diana’s funeral and being so confused as to why they were crying. I was about 5 at the time.
I remember 9/11 and it made me terrified of planes, I’ve been on 1 since then and probably will never again!
the 7/7 bombings always stick with me as my cousin should of been on that tube but had decided to cycle to work as it was a sunny day!
Holly and Jessica scared me so much. I remember seeing it on the news just before we had swimming lessons and being terrified to go outside.
I studied child care at 6th form and it was around the time of the Baby P case. Never ever been able to forget that gorgeous face. It broke my heart reading about it.
the other case that has always stuck with me is the caylee Anthony case in America. I always thought her mum did it but I read the book written by the mums defence and it really changed my view. We will never know the truth but either way that poor little girl.
My friend was there at that time to which got me interested in it.The Casey Anthony case still haunts me too! I was in Florida at the time of the trial and it was insane! Interesting about the book... what makes you think she didn’t do it? I believe she did it but would be interesting to read
I have that book sitting in my pile waiting to be read. I'm really fascinated by cases like this.My friend was there at that time to which got me interested in it.
I read the book some years back now, but the evidence when taken apart and looked through piece by piece, was all very circumstantial. I would actually say her dad had a lot more to do with it after reading it. I don’t think caseys life was all that good with her parents at all even more so than what was said in the trial. The books called Presumed Guilty. It’s honestly worth the read. I’m useless at explaining things so sorry!
Same! I’ve never read a book like it before and honestly I was hooked. The way he wrote it is brilliant to explain and understand. Let me know what you think when you’ve read it!I have that book sitting in my pile waiting to be read. I'm really fascinated by cases like this.
