  • This video was taken December 3, 2011 (14 years after the video taken the night Princess Diana died). Ken, whose reaction to Diana's death was a loud scream in the 1997 Diana video, is in black in this video on the left and talks briefly about that night. Next to him is Scott, then Clark, who were also in the 1997 Diana video. The others were not in the 1997 Diana video. ORIGINAL VIDEO: • Friends shocked to lea... - Then others talk about other famous deaths that they remember - Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays. Ken didn't realize I was videotaping him :-)

  • @a32tl

    Farrah died the same day as Michael Jackson. Her death was reported in the morning and Michael died later that afternoon and as soon as he died no one talked about Farrah's death anymore. That was in June of 2009. When Diana died, I had been out to dinner with some friends. When I got home it was all over the news. I was super shocked and deeply saddened. Her death probably shocked me more than any celebrity's death that I can recall with the possible exception of Whitney Houston.

    Wow the Diana reaction video is such a fascinating glimpse into that time and especially before everyone had smartphones to record these moments. Truly amazing you have that video.
    I was really young at the time, around 12 years old. Yet somehow I knew of Diana because who didn’t? She was a beautiful princess and otherworldly. I was so shocked when she died and I remember my mom being very upset. I think we all remember where we were which just shows what an impact she had on the world.

    Well, that's interesting. Just saw the video when you guys played cards (Ist it called UNO in your country as well?) and the news of Diana´s death occurred. I have no idea why CZcams suggested me the video, but I like what the algorithm is presenting me usually. Now here you are, 13 years later and I wonder if you're still friend and what you look like. I wanna see you grow old of course as you haven't changed much from 1997-2011, which makes me jealous.

He doesn't have a computer (or smart phone) and he doesn't even use the internet, at all! He has a phobia about it. So that's the main obstacle at the moment. He lives alone.
