 * p/Angry_Salad_697:
 * "The death of the public figure itself was unique to my country, but not the program that was interrupted for it. But we in El Kadsre remember it as a haunting vision.


 * On Monday, October 22, 2001, El TV Kadsre 1 began airing an episode of Sesame Street during the ETVKK weekday slot, just as kids were returning home from school. Just as the episode was starting, halfway through the scene I remember most (Elmo getting tired of Zoe's game and threatening to go to Alaska, only for Zoe to tell him she could take him there, to which he replies the way you'd expect), the episode was interrupted indefinitely because of an important message: EK founding father Hiroshi Kayos had died.


 * A week later, we were talking about it in class. My class mates were telling me about how their little siblings were crying or were mad that their show was interrupted.


 * The event for some reason popped into my head a few weeks ago, and I mentioned it to my friends. Surprisingly, they also remembered Sesame Street being interrupted because Hiroshi Kayos died."


 * p/GizmonicBanana: "In El Kadsre, El TV Kadsre 2 had a Saturday morning kids' show, Gethers. Pretty much the entire child population of the country was stranded at home for half the later portion of the year 2001 due to a teacher's strike, and Gethers was expanded to weekdays once more after a long time off weekday mornings. On September 11, they were broadcasting the cartoon Blazing Dragons when they cut into the episode to announce the attack on the Twin Towers. I was watching El TV Kadsre 4 (which only had a ticker at the bottom saying "PLEASE TUNE TO EL TV KADSRE 1 or 2 FOR AN IMPORTANT NEWS BULLETIN" or something like that), but many kids were watching El TV Kadsre 2 at the time (as well as 1, in the midst of the weekday ETVKK show) and I heard from those who did that they were shocked (all they really cared about was that their morning cartoon got interrupted)."


 * p/ChocolateBar_House:
 * "The whole episode should be available on Disney+ or El TV Kadsre Player.


 * I was watching it on that day and basically the show stopped, then they cut into a US Fox News simulcast, then after a while began showing blood/despair/bodies/etc., knowing full well that a cartoon aimed at kids was on air until seconds prior and was being watched by hundreds of thousands of kids. They had no "look away" warning or anything.


 * Gethers also got interrupted when a El Kadsreian radio tower repairman kidnapped by terrorists in Iraq was rescued by the British SAS in like 2005.


 * I'm almost 23 yet Princess Flame will forever be my fav dragon girl. lol."


 * p/Johnny_Tsunami_Rules: "Only thing I can remember aside from the 9/11 Gethers one is when I was sick in bed one day and I was watching El TV Kadsre 1's ETVKK, which had the best schedule at the time (SpongeBob, Sagwa, Redwall, classic shows like Galaxy Rangers and Rainbow Brite, etc.) and then the show was abruptly stopped to broadcast an important message: Pope John Paul II had died. 15-year old me was maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad."


 * p/Fedele: "Italian here. Back in 2001 a children's program called Melevisione was interrupted so they could show news coverage of 9/11. I saw that thing live, and can remember it vividly, along with pretty much everyone else who was a kid at the time in Italy."
