Other ones after 9/11 are:
Iraq War coverage in 2003 (didn't comprehend of course, but i remember seeing coverage)
The 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean
Beslan school siege 2004
Madrid bombings 2004
Popes death and succession 2005
London attacks 2005
Hurricane Katrina 2005 and it being an active hurricane season (i already started getting somewhat of a weather enthusiast starting at the age of 7-8, and i was 9 than), so hurricanes Dennis, Rita, Wilma i also somewhat remember.
I remember sports very well, i started following sports way more from 2005 on (cycling and football), so all major news coverage from then i sort of know or at least have seen, dep. on my interests maybe. I remember some tennis from before too because we had two exceptional female tennis players at the time.
The attacks of nine eleven might even be the first time i've seen the news. My foster parents obviously watch the news every day but I didn't comprehend/understand/follow it (or anything on television aside of animation maybe). I also was only recently in that family after being at my real parents and being in a sort of home or orphanage for a while. (was only at the family i would be raised in for 5 months, it was somewhere around easter 2001). My real parents didn't follow news, or i wasn't even allowed to sit with them and were a problematic family and in an orphanage they're not gonna do the either, so i think it's the first time i saw actively news coverage. I don't even remember anything from 2002 except for seeing football at school during the world cup.
