Twentynet80

National debt goes from 1 trillion to 14.3 trillion, the challenger explodes several dead. Nuclear explosion in Chernobyl terrible mess. Haley's comet home for a visit. Black Monday stocks drop 22 percent. Condom commercials are now, finally viewed on Television. Berlin wall fell down, while rap music makes its own entry into the industry. big hair, flashy chains and love, Van Halen is big. This is what happened that decade. cory long decade contest.

You captured the events and mood of the shaky '80s so well, Cory. We'll never forget Chrnobyl, the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and the entry of rap music. Great entry for the contest. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn
