I dunno if it qualifies, but the 9/11 terrorist attacks were I believe the first foreign terrorist attacks on American soil to be broadcast live. To me it was the true beginning of the real time news and online news concept. It was really the first time we got to watch something unfolding so quickly and as it happened.
The chills down my spine when the first building collapsed... I'll never forget it. I thought I just witnessed the start of WW3.
