Bases on my limited experience this is the least surprising railway news I've ever heard
Olaf Scholz mocked British railways over “broken tracks and bad trains”, claiming that "nothing works any more” in the UK.

Ousting of Thatcher is most vivid. Fall of Berlin wall is slightly fussier
What's the first major news story you remember as a child?
Challenger for sure. After that the next one I remember vividly was the Berlin Wall. Then the invasion of Kuwait. Obviously other things happened between those but I'm talking off the top of my head.
Really curious about Ukrainian answers.

The Challenger explosion. I remember watching the footage on the little B&W TV that only came out of the closet for space shuttle launches and presidential speeches.
