Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported?
Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week agol also had Chernobyl in mind at first. It was a big thing, as it affected life as a kid in Europe directly.
But then I remembered all the news stories surrounding the Anti-Pershing protests.
These were in 1983, the year in which humanity perhaps was closest to complete annihilation ever.
Yes, the 80s were wild.

Oh, right the protests against nuclear rearmament in Europe. I was actually part of the “human chain” demo, somewhere between Ulm and Neu-Ulm. Together with my teddy, which got us photographed for the regional newspaper.

Wow, that is actually really cool!
So maybe I’ve seen you on TV 40 years ago, as I totally remember the human chain!
I think it was the first time I heard of “Neu-Ulm”, and since then the name has always been somehow connected with the helicopter images of the protests for me.
