"Biggest Death"

[RonC]

what was the "biggest" (if thats the right word) death in history. I dont mean Christ for those of us who are religious. I mean more like a celebrity, politician, or any other famous person. From what I can remember, without a doubt, it was Princess Diana.

 

[rabbgp]

Elvis, hands down.

 

[RonC]

Elvis, hands down.

i think that MJ is already a bigger deal than elvis. but for worldwide mourning, Dianas death FAR outweighed either of the singers.

 

[rabbgp]

oh, I was thinking biggest celeb death for me. Yeah in our generation Diana was probably it.

i would say lincoln, abraham lincoln.

the fact that it's still a part of american history, after all these years, or at least until obama puts a tax on that page in the history books, says something. everyone knows who killed him, or shot him that is.

will princess di be in the history books in 100 years? maybe in england, but doubtful in america

so the fact that the US has way, way, way more students than england means it's more "popular" and it's in more books, until obama creates a book czar that taxes pages of books above page 15.

 

[bballbaby]

but i'll agree that princess di was a BIG deal, worldwide, and she had credibility. jackson ended up being a freak

 

[muhren]

JFK anyone?

 

[icehog3]

JFK....Television brought this type of event into everyones' homes for the first time.

 

[RonC]

JFK anyone?

JFK for US. add the rest of the world, and its Diana

 

[icehog3]

JFK anyone?

Great minds....

 

[strife]

Agreed, JFK followed by MLK.

Waite 30 years and see if thousands of people show up at his house every year on his birthday to attend a candle light vigel (?). I dint know how many people have ever seen this, but every year at Graceland, thousands of people show up for one

if we are talking about modern history it had to Princess Diana

Ron I think that's an impossible question to answer simply because it depends on who you talk to and who they were "into." Now I'd assume someone can put a financial twist on things and see who's death caused the larger financial twist. Diana, MJ, Elvis, JFK, Lincoln...how the heck do you quantify any against each other?

 

[gibbleguts]

I think that discounting JFK as a US only thing is taking things a little light. I think that one changed the entire world in more ways then any of us will ever understand. The leader of of the most powerfull country in the world at the begining of worldwide bradcast changed everything.

 

[bohizzle]

what about biggie and tupac?
