Timmy in the well is from the old Lassie TV show. It's a bit of a joke. I don't know how or why Timmy fell in the well, but I guess Lassie went for help for him.Probably the fall of the Berlin Wall. Although I was just a child, I remember watching an episode of Alvin and the Chipmunks where they performed on the wall and it crumbled because they played so loud, that episode is what caused me to ask about it. Funny enough, that episode first aired before the wall even fell, but I must have seen a repeat or because of the episode, when it actually came down I paid attention...IDK, it was so long ago and was wasn't even 10 yet.

Nevermind...Just googled...it's an old Simpsons episode...LOL.
Ditto, I was in elementary school but I'll never forget it. I can still remember being in gym class when I heard it. My parents took the news very badly and I remember how sad they were.Kennedy assasination. They announced it over the intercom at school.
