  1. It’s amazing that whilst Hugh was going through this in his life, my mum had been rushed to have an emergency C- section to have me because I went into foetal distress and was also born flat so I also had to be revived. I find it so interesting to find out what else was happening the day I was born.

  2. I just recently found out about this website. and this is the exact day I was born. 10/17/97 I find what he did amazing and I wish he was alive today to see the way people have reacted in amazement to his photos.

  3. This day in 1997 my baby girl turned 4 years old and we had a big party for her the next day on Saturday. I love her so much she’s 23 now soon to be 24. She moved to Ky. last Aug. and I miss her so much I wish she’d move back.

  4. My dad, very drunk at the time, recently told me that I was concieved after a Rolling Stones concert, and if I was a boy he wanted to name me Mick after Mick Jagger. I was born in July 1998, so I did the math and googled Rolling Stones concerts October 1997, and the one near where I was born took place on October 17th. It’s so funny and sad to think that lives are created while others are deteriorating. It’s 5 am and I just learned Jamie’s story, and maybe it’s the time of night or head space I’m in, but it just feels so surreal to think about.

  5. On this date, my eldest niece was born. Incredible to see the juxtaposition of what that day meant for me compared to what the day meant for Jamie and his friends.
