Zman Posted September 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2009 If you had a magical time machine and had the chance to go to and be a part of one historic event, which one would you choose? For me, I wish that I had been in Berlin on November 9, 1989 to witness the fall of the Berlin Wall. To see the old videos with the dancing and sheer joy in the streets still to this day gives me goosebumps. What's your choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted September 21, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 21, 2009 I would have been in NY when the Giants won the Super Bowl in 2008 B) Missed the best of the celebrations being in Rhode Island for school (gag) The only good part of being in RI was watching the news that day after the game and the newscasters looking like they wanted to cry. If I didn't speak any English and I turned on the TV, their somber faces would have made me think a space shuttle exploded or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Local Posted September 22, 2009 Share #8 Posted September 22, 2009 I would have loved to been on board R.M.S.Titanic; Whether I would've survived or not, I would want my name to be remembered that I was an important figure on the boat (Passenger or Employee) that helped others survive before me.:tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
