I first heard about the death of Princess Diana late at night, very early on the morning of the 1st of September. I was insomniac, wiorried about my first day as a first-year student at the University of Prince Edward Island, and flipping through the television channels. I got to the block of French channels and one of them--TV5?--was showing images of a car crash in Paris, something about ... I couldn't concentrate enough to listen, and I didn't understand why international news channels werre covering a car crash in Paris, and so I turned off the television and finally went to sleep.
