Flashbulb memories are memories made when an event happens with such magnitude or such great consequences that you remember the situation surrounding you when you find out about it. People are saying that Osama's death is going to be one of those moments. I have lots of thoughts, concerns, and speculations about his death that I don't think are appropriate for this blog. However, I think it's fascinating how quickly news spreads, and how a whole country - or even globe - can share a moment like this, especially over something as seemingly inconsequential as one man's death. Right now people seem to generally be happy, slightly confused, and proud in his or her country (namely, America). I have no idea what the future holds and do not even feel confident saying that it may be safer than it is now, but rest assured something big and unforgettable has happened today that will go down in history.
RIP, those murdered by Osama.
