1979 hostage crisis still casts pall on U.S.-Iran relations - CNN.com

It happened when I was in school. I think it was the lowest point that the Carter presidency had ever had.

Reba · 11-04-2009, 05:01 PM

Hubby and I and our daughter lived in Goose Creek, SC, at that time. Hubby was on active duty with the Navy, and I was in the Naval Reserve. The hostage taking was very upsetting to us.

The year before, we were both on active duty in the Navy in Pensacola, FL. We worked in a command where we had contact with the Iranian military flight students. The Shah's problems and Iranian unrest were very real and constant threats to us.

Bottesini · 11-04-2009, 05:02 PM

I was just home from the hospital after having my first baby.

Frisky Feline · 11-04-2009, 05:04 PM

SCBassist · 11-04-2009, 06:41 PM

In kindergarten! That was the time where I was introduced to the globe, and my dad was pointing out Iran, Russia, and the military base we were living in at the time. A year later, I remember seeing on the news about a failed rescue attempt by the Marine Corps, severeal helecpters ended up going down.

LakeTahoe · 11-04-2009, 06:44 PM

I was in grade <elementary> school, probably playing on playground <or I should say, NOT playing cuz I did terrible at playground games, didn't understand them; kids didn't wanna pick me> so, more likely on playground, trying to avoid being harassed, standing around watching other kids.
Am sure had no clue about Iran hostage thing.

What release these hostage is Ronald Reagan had won election and warned them that he will take steps to end the hostages situation and he did!

Loghead · 11-04-2009, 09:03 PM

I was a twinkle in my dad's eye.

Foxrac · 11-04-2009, 09:31 PM

I wasn't born in 1979, my mother was college student when Iranian revolution started and many college students were very upset.

Topgun · 11-04-2009, 09:57 PM

I was around 3 years old that time...so I don't remember what happened. I was somewhere in California that time.

darkdog · 11-04-2009, 10:44 PM

I was hanging out in the womb completely oblivious to the outside world. Good times.

jazzy · 11-04-2009, 10:57 PM

I was 18 and still living at home and attended community college. I remember those days, it was awful but not only Iran we also had to deal with Lebanon with hostages.

KristinaB · 11-04-2009, 10:58 PM

I was in high school. Don't remember to much, but I do remember talking and discussing it both in school and at home.

Bramus · 11-04-2009, 11:09 PM

Sorry it seemed like the right age to be a radical then, if my bad guess bothered you , I confess I will be 53 on Nov. 26.
