I remember watching Bush's speech on Sky News as a teenager. The coverage was around-the-clock. 22 years ago... There are babies born on this day who now have kids of their own.

Take me back to September 14th, 2001!

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

The date is September 14th, 2001, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. Most people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. In America, the song I'm Real by Jennifer Lopez is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Mambo No. 5 by Bob the Builder is the number-one hit song.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie The Musketeer is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks.

In technology news, more and more music companies are beginning to release MP3 players. The new MP3 format means that music listeners are able to listen to multiple albums on the go. Meanwhile, the Nokia 3310 is one of the most popular cellphones on the market at the moment. Stores across the world are currently selling a wide range of custom covers for the phone. It's 2001, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson, OutKast, Crazy Town, Destiny's Child, Usher, Alicia Keys, Blu Cantrell and Jennifer Lopez.

An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom is causing a crisis in the British agriculture and tourism sectors. The authorities are killing cows and sheep in an effort to halt the disease. The world is in a complete state of shock after the September 11 attacks, which brought down the World Trade Center and killed 3,000 people. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as George Harrison, Layne Staley, Left Eye, and Big Dick Dudley would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "JAG", "Dark Angel", "Gilmore Girls", and "Boston Public". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Diablo II", "Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes", "Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn", and "Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Little Bear", "Bob the Builder", "Batman Beyond", and "Courage the Cowardly Dog".

Popular toys at the moment include Road Champs bikes, Harry Potter Trivia Game, Tekno the Robotic Puppy, and Intelli Table.
