What.. no first man landing on the moon or moon walk.. I could not believe at the time that we were actually going to see this live from the freakin' MOON!!! And it's not on the list.. this should be #1 of all time!

*terrible

Adding video to channels (Terrible) - requested by RhesusMonk.

No surprise 9/11 topped the list. Really questionable choices. I thought #2 would be the moon landing for sure. 9/11 could have been paired with bin Laden's death as one mention (two sides of one larger story). I think the announcement of JFK's assassination and his subsequent funeral were close enough together to warrant one event. Same is true with the ongoing drama that was OJ Simpson's original trial. JFK should have ranked higher than Simpson.

Casey Anthony has no right to this list at all, and I'd replace her with the 1989 World Series, where the SF Giants and Oakland A's (a fact notable to bay residents) were interrupted by an extremely lethal earthquake. Condensing references would allow the moon landing to occupy the #2 spot and a few more events to be selected.

That's what they get for letting a poll of 1077 randoms populate a list like this.

Kate & William's wedding was one of the most powerful moments on American TV...??? Really? LOL

And Whitney Houston's death?? Well these are all pretty subjective choices lol

I'm upvoting because this list sucks and reflects the basic lack of historical perspective of a random sampling of Americans.

I want the whole Sift to see our national shame, since this is an international community.

I can't bear to watch it again. But what percent were basically just celebrity news?

I am embarrassed.

And shall contribute to my national Walk of Shame by upvoting.

Moving this video to Stingray's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
