The heavens gate mass suicide is the first news story that I can remember where I really realised that the world is a horror show, more depressing and upsetting than the horror movies I love. I was obsessed with it and still think about it often.
Do any of you have a similar incident, one which changed your younger perspective on the world?

That’s a big one. I skipped college to watch a movie with my mates and we stopped it to smoke some weed. Halfway through my mate says “is that a movie?” And we look through the living room window to see the tower burning on the TV. We didn’t think it was real until we went back inside. We walked in to town just to wander round because it felt like such a massive deal and watched the towers fall with a few dozen people on the TVs in currys. It was all so surreal.

Yeah 9/11 certainly changed me in some way.
On the topic of mass suicides, although I didn’t live the event on the news, the Jonestown event really marked me. Humans are so... (I’ll get back to you on that one!)

The Ceausescus being shot and seeing it on TV marked me. Also learning of cancer around the age of 5.

James bulger Thats just tragic For those who dont know two ten year old boys kidnapped a 3 year old and tortured him to death with rocks on a train tracks. One of the more grotesque crimes in british history.
Fucking sick as fuck
The soham murders also pretty gross. And fred and rosemary west. Sick fucks.

I saw a Jonestown movie on TV when I was a kid and it fucked me up good. The needlessness of it all. Members who had doubts forced to take the poison. The children. Ugh.
