    Vaguely heard about it on the radio on the way to high school. First period was “intro to flash animation” taught by a boomer who didn’t know we could access YouTube on our computers. Everyone was watching videos about what happened and ignoring the teacher. One kid was late and she asked “why are you late” and he was like “ there was a national emergency”

      He didn’t know you could access YouTube on those computers because YouTube wouldn’t exist for 3.5 more years (Feb 2005).

      If you were watching it on a computer it was probably something else. Maybe MSN or something.
