Early Memories of News Events.

I was born in 1979 , looking at the wikipedia entries for different years since then, I only remember two of the events from 1986, Diego Maradona's "Hand of God" goal (or the Aygo Maradona, as I thought he was called back then) and the Challenger disaster. On the other hand I can remember loads of events from 1987 so presumably that is when I became aware of the outside world.
