    Yes a very sad day at the time it happened. I think there was a documentary about it.

    I was 12 years old.
    I remember seeing about it on our black and white tv.

    It was so upsetting and I can remember my Dad crying, which was something I'd never seen him do before. 

    Remembering it still makes me cry.
