Where/What were you doing when PRINCESS DIANA DIED? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 10-13-2005, 05:22 PM

I had posted a similar thread regarding John Lennon, but I soon realized there are alot of younger people here...so I made this thread so they too can post.

Believe it or not, I had just been BITTEN BY A DOG!!!! and taken to the Emergency room. On the way over there, the car stereo was on and the D.J. was taking requests for songs, when a young girl said she didn't want to request a song, but she wanted to find out if it was true Princess Diana died in a car accident? The D.J. was shocked at her statement. He apologized to the listeners and said he has no verification of such a thing happening. But he also said how tragic it would be if it's true. I soon found out in the ER when one of the rooms they put me in had their t.v. on and there it was on the news. I was sooooo horrified. I forgot abt the pain in my leg and began crying for her, rather than my pain.

I was jumping up and down on my parents bed and my brother came upstairs and said to my mom that she was dead

The Chauffeur · 10-13-2005, 05:29 PM

I heard it on the radio while I was driving. When the funeral came around, I stayed at a friends house that night, we stayed up all night to watch it

Mr. Television · 10-13-2005, 05:33 PM

I was watching tv

RustyShackleford · 10-13-2005, 05:38 PM

I was waiting for Saturday Night Live to come on, then they broke in during the opening sketch with the news.

Kazza · 10-13-2005, 05:47 PM

I was in bed asleep and my then husband woke me up with the news. I stayed up the rest of the night watching CNN; I couldn't believe it. The day of her funeral I cried my eyes out..I haven't felt so much sadness in a long time even after finding out I was pregnant that same day.

EmoJoe · 10-13-2005, 06:01 PM

I think I was at my grandfather's house and my aunt was watching TV and saw that she died so she told all of us. Im not sure though, I was like 7 when it happened.

MissZero · 10-13-2005, 07:08 PM

My mom told me when I woke up the next morning. I remeber watching the funeral with my sister and my cousin...i was so sad but i remember not being sure how i was supposed to act becuase i was so young (2nd grade i think..maybe 3rd)

Five....

She died on August 31, 1997.

I don't remember what I did the day (night) she died...I heard it was 4 a.m. over in Paris when she died, so it would have to have been 10 p.m. my time when she died. I had just turned 12 two weeks prior. I do remember watching her funeral on TV a few days later, and I bawled my eyes out. It was so sad.

TheGreatPretender · 10-13-2005, 07:59 PM

I don't remember I was only 7.

Penny Lane · 10-13-2005, 08:24 PM

I remember this so well! My husband and I were at our campground in Northern Michigan where we have a trailer(RV) Well......... we were at the annual Labor Day dance that they have. We got back to the campsite at around midnight and we turned on the radio and heard that Diana had been in a car accident. But I didn't know that she had died until the next morning. So sad...........

Moonlight Lady · 10-13-2005, 08:36 PM

I found out when I got home from grocery shopping. I logged on to AOL and that's where I saw the headline.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 10-13-2005, 09:04 PM

I was 8 and I remember seeing the footage of the crash on tv...

Pitooey · 10-13-2005, 09:22 PM

I was coming back from Home Depot. It was late. I felt this eeriness inside of me that I couldn't shake. My husband was driving me and I kept thinking about a car crash. I felt this Huge car crash. (I get vibes sometimes).

When I got home and put the TV on I saw that Princess Diana's car had crashed and Dodi AlFayed was dead. I was in

Then they showed the car on TV and my husband said that he didn't think anyone survived that car crash. Sadly he was right.

bandito · 10-13-2005, 09:34 PM

I was sitting in a bar drinking a beer when i saw it on tv.
