Challenger exploding, closely followed by Chernobyl exploding. I’m sure inbetween there were parts of London exploding. And after that, Pan Am 103 exploding. The 80s were a wild time.
1986 was wild experience as a kid here in Finland. Chernobyl, Challenger, Olaf Palme assassination (Swedish PM but it was huge news here as well) and Jakomäki Bank Robbery/Mikkeli hostage crisis that ended up in big car explosion seen on tv.
l also had Chernobyl in mind at first. It was a big thing, as it affected life as a kid in Europe directly.
But then I remembered all the news stories surrounding the Anti-Pershing protests.
These were in 1983, the year in which humanity perhaps was closest to complete annihilation ever.
