Memorable News -vwv

For reasons I can no longer remember, I started wondering about the major events I associate with each year, things I can recall within half a minute. Here's what I have. What your list like?

1986
- Space Shuttle Challenger disaster
1994
- Fermat's Last Theorem finally proven after almost 400 years
- Comet Shoemaker Levy 9 crashes into Jupiter (I kept thinking it's 1995)
1997
- Comet Hale-Bopp becomes the brightest comet in decades
- Princess Diana dies
- Mother Theresa dies
- El Nino, Southeast Asian Haze
- Asia Financial Crisis
2001
- 9/11 Terrorist Attack
2003
- SARS
2004
- Indian Ocean Tsunami
2008
- Sichuan Earthquake
2009
- Solar Eclipse of July 22

It seems like disasters are the most memorable to me, especially when they come together, like in 1997.
