The Wright brother's first flight would've been cool. Also the celebrations in Times Square when ww2 was over would be amazing, one helluva party.


but i'll have to go with The crash at Roswell, just to see what it really was.

Many really but the return of Mary Queen of Scots to Scotland for me, one of my historical heroines and I would have liked to witness her returning to her kingdom.
I would have loved for history to have gone another route as to her too.

Even if you did watch Oswald take his three shots, do you think the conspiracy theorists would believe you? they'd claim you are just a CIA shill. They aren't interested in facts, they are invested in believing that they are smarter than everyone else, and they know more than everyone else, we're all just sheep and they know more than us,. it makes them feel superior. conspiracy theories are like religion. it makes them feel special. "the chosen people"

I'm split between living as a Teen in the States During WWII or being in Manhattan during 9/11.
