Great question! The very earliest story I can vaguely summon up at the moment was about a hurricane devastating the city of La Paz in Baja California Sur, from Mexican news on television. To pin down any details, I had to look it up, and came up with Hurricane Liza in 1976.
There was an image that got seared into my brain at the time, but it was probably my very young mind playing tricks on me, watching this report on one of those old, old, OLD small and blurry black-and-white televisions: the image of a dead baby lying face down among the rubble.
EDIT: That was a bummer, let me try again with a much more positive mind-blowing blast-from-the-past that might make some of you go - "Damn... yeah, deep pull, man!"...
How about the Montreal Olympics, particularly and spectacularly, Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci! I also remember one specific moment of the closing ceremonies, doves being released as Beethoven's "Ode To Joy" was playing at full blast at the Stadium Olympique!
