Significant moments like Challenger

My girlfriend is a bit younger than i, she's 20, We were watching modern marvels tonight and they had a special on candy. During one of the breaks the little tidbit info they said was that in 1983 Reagan had Jelly Bellys put on the challenger as a surprise for the astronauts. I said something like "thats a bit ironic" she had no clue so thanks to youtube i was able to show her what Challenger was.
This got me thinking the events that had the most impact on the public were obviously Challenger along with JFK shooting, John lennon shooting and 9/11. Would these be the most tragic moments of our last 50 years? I was simply trying to share some history with my girl, am i missing any really significant ones?
