I found this on Yahoo, so obviously don't take it as gospel. Interesting that the moon landing is not on here though. The most vivid memory for me, was the first event. I will never, ever, ever forget where i was or what i was doing on 9/11. I can remember every minute of that morning and i still get the chills when i think about it. Please refrain from any political or religious commentary.

1. Sept. 11 tragedy (2001)
2. Hurricane Katrina (2005)
3. O.J. Simpson verdict (1995)
4. Challenger space shuttle disaster (1986)
5. Death of Osama bin Laden (2011)
6. O.J. Simpson white Bronco chase (1994)

One reason you probably don't see the moon landing is the age of the people that saw it on tv is not the same group that surfs the Internet as much. I am a tv junkie so I saw all of them. Right now I am watching tv at work. In fact I am watching three shows at the same time.

JFK is there though. Mmmmm, i take it that you work in the TV industry in some fashion... control room?
 
You are right. Master control for three local stations. Getting new control room soon. Been training in it this week. When finished we will have 6 stations coming out of that room. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1342121511.348953.jpg

I think they (Yahoo) nailed it. They probably based this top-20 ranking on TV ratings/viewership. I couldn't think of anything that should be on the list.
