QOTD #00031: “If you could witness any moment in history, what would it be?”

They say the history books are written by the winners. We very rarely get to see the full picture. What is a moment in history you would like to see? It could just be for pleasure, or maybe you want to see what really went down...

Shedding a tear at Jordan's winning shot.
“So, if I could be a fly on the wall in any moment in history, the room that I would be in is a stadium, like the basketball stadium, um, that they played the North Carolina-Georgetown game - the one where Michael Jordan, like, had his, you know, game-winning shot. I would definitely love to be in that room seeing, like, all the vibes and everyone just going crazy when that shot just goes off, and, like, just seeing that would probably make me cry. So yeah.”

A fly on the backboard watching Michael Jordan score.
“If I could be a fly on any- If I could be a fly on a wall in any moment of history, I would definitely be on the wall of the backboard of Michael Jordan's game-six, game-winning shot against the Utah Jazz in 1998.”

Braveheart, Shakespeare - and Rome looked lit.
“Honestly, that's a tough question since there are just so many interesting times throughout history, but I have been able to narrow it down to my top three. So, my number one would definitely have to be during the time of Sir William Wallace since that's an extremely interesting era. Plus, Braveheart was one of my favorite movies. And I'd also have to say the second one would probably be Ancient Rome because I just heard that time was lit. And number three would probably be during Shakespearean England since I'd just love to know how he wrote those plays.”

A fly on the wall at the first Les Mis.
“If I could be a fly on the wall in any historical moment, I would be at the opening night of the original production of Les Mis in London. That would be where I- That would be where I wanted to be. I think- I think that that would make me die happy. I mean, the talent and the theatrics and just, like, the history of that, I think that that would be really, really awesome.”
